Re: How to implement generic toolbar in Forms 4.0

Forms 4.5 supports vertical and/or horizontal toolbar canvases on any window including the MDI Window under MS-Windows. We have a clever declarative way of mapping a toolbar from a window on Mac or Motif (where there is no MDI Parent window) to MS-Windows so you can have the best of both world's without touching your code.

The toolbar canvases are special types of canvases which can accept *any* supported Forms widget, not just buttons. So, having a pop-list, OLE object, or any VBX control in the toolbar is dead-on simple. If you know canvases, you already know toolbars. :-)

Hope this helps.
