Toolbar class

The Toolbar class is used to create image buttons bars.

Toolbar is a subclass of Toolbar.mcc so you must have Toolbar.mcc in MUI:Libs/MUI to use it.
Toolbar.mcc is copyright of Benny Kjær Nielsen.

 

Toolbar.rxmec is also an ARexx shared library.

You dont have to worry about adding Toolbar.rxmec to the ARexx libraries list, because it is done automatically.
