Re: Newbie Question: How to add controls to a toolbar

Hi,

You were close to the solution.

Selecting "New - more -> Add Control" in the tools collection window just
adds a kind of slot for the control to your toolbar.

First add the toolbar to your frame.
Then you have to add the combobox to the toolbar by selecting the combobox
icon in the palette and clicking on the toolbar.
Make sure the added combobox is a child of the toolbar. You can check this
in the 'objs' tab of the inspector window: the combobox node must be a child
of the toolbar node.
Then open the toolbar tools collection window and select "New - more -> Add
Control" to add an empty comtrol slot. Select the empty control item you've
added (the 'None' item) and go to the 'constr' tab of the inspector window.
You can then choose your combobox in 'Control' the dropdown list.

It may not refresh the toolbar in the designer window. Just validate the
designer and reopen it to see your combobox added to the toolbar.
