Select a toolbar style in the Toolbar category of the Properties view for the top-level menu object in the Menu painter.
Toolbars can have a contemporary or traditional style. Imported and migrated toolbars maintain their style.
| Toolbar style | Description |
|---|---|
| Contemporary | A 3D-style toolbar similar to Microsoft Office 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 |
| Traditional | A more traditional and older toolbar style |
By default, new toolbars use the contemporary toolbar style.
- Select the top-level menu object.
- In the Toolbar category of the Properties view, select the toolbar style you want: traditionaltoolbar! or contemporarytoolbar!
If you select traditionaltoolbar! you cannot then select other toolbar style properties. If you select contemporarytoolbar! style, you can customize the display properties for that style and all menu items with associated toolbar buttons in the current menu.
Unless you are using the traditional toolbar style for the current menu object, you can set the ToolbarAnimation property in the Properties view for each menu item. If you do not select an image for the ToolbarItemName property of a menu item, the selection you make for the ToolbarAnimation property is ignored.
