Customizing the Display of Commands in a Toolbar

You can add, remove, and change the order of the commands (represented by toolbar buttons) in a toolbar. You can also group related commands with a separator.

To add a command to a toolbar:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the IDE Configuration node. Then expand the Look and Feel node.
  3. Expand the Actions node until you find the command you want to add to the toolbar.
  4. Right-click the command and choose Copy.
  5. Under the Look and Feel node, expand the Toolbars node.
  6. Right-click the node of the toolbar in which you want to place the command, and choose Paste and choose Copy.

    The IDE adds the button for that command to the toolbar.

  7. To change the position of the button in the toolbar, right-click the node of the toolbar in which you placed the command and choose Change Order. In the Change Order dialog box, select the command, and click Move Up or Move Down. Click Close when you are finished.

To remove a command from a toolbar:

  1. In the Options window, expand the IDE Configuration node. Then expand the Look and Feel node, followed by the Toolbars node.
  2. Expand the node of the toolbar you want to change.
  3. Right-click the command you want to remove and choose Delete.
  4. Click Yes in the Confirm Object Deletion dialog box.

To reorder the commands within a toolbar:

  2. Right-click the node of the toolbar whose commands you want to rearrange and choose Change Order.
  3. In the Change Order dialog box, select the command you want to move and click Move Up or Move Down.
  4. Click Close.

    The IDE updates the toolbar.

To group related commands with a separator:

  1. In the Options window, expand the IDE Configuration node. Then expand the Look and Feel node, followed by the Toolbars node.
