TToolBar.Orientation property
Indicates the orientation and layout direction for the buttons on the tool bar.
Declaration
property Orientation: TToolBarOrientation read FOrientation write SetOrientation default tboAutomatic;Description
TToolBar is a
TToolBarOrientation property which
indicates the orientation for the tool bar on a parent control or form.
TToolBar contains one of the values from the TTooBarOrientation property. The
default value is tboAutomatic and indicates the orientation is determined by
the setting used in the
Align property.
In short, using tboHorizontal or tboVertical causes Align to be ignored. Using tboAutomatic allows Align to be used to determine the orientation for the tool bar buttons. When using tboAutomatic in Orientation and alNone in Align, the tool bar orientation can be flipped when wrapping occurs and the dimensions for the control are changed. TToolbar instances on a TCoolBar parent control are oriented using the Vertical property for the parent control.
Changing the value for the property causes the control to be redrawn.
Use IsVertical to determine whether tboVertical has been explicitly assigned to the Orientation property, or the Align property requires the orientation.
Added in LCL version 5.0.
