| 12 | + | procedure AddButtons(ToolBar: TToolBar; const ButtonCaptions: array of String); | |
| 13 | + | var | |
| 14 | + | i: integer; | |
| 15 | + | begin | |
| 16 | + | for i := 0 to High(ButtonCaptions) do | |
| 17 | + | begin | |
| 18 | + | with TToolButton.Create(ToolBar) do | |
| 19 | + | begin | |
| 20 | + | Parent := ToolBar; | |
| 21 | + | Caption := ButtonCaptions[i]; | |
| 22 | + | if (ButtonCaptions[i] = '|') then | |
| 23 | + | Style := tbsSeparator | |
| 24 | + | else | |
| 25 | + | Style := tbsButton; | |
| 26 | + | AutoSize := True; | |
| 27 | + | Left := Parent.Width; //Buttons are added from left to right, otherwise the direction might be random, usually from right to left | |
| 28 | + | end; | |
| 29 | + | end; | |
| 30 | + | end; | |
| 31 | + | ||

| 36 | + | ToolBar := TToolBar.Create(Self); | |
| 37 | + | ToolBar.Parent := Self; | |
| 38 | + | ShowMessage(IntToStr(ToolBar.ButtonCount)); | |
| 39 | + | AddButtons(ToolBar, ['New', 'Save', '|', 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste']); | |
| 40 | + | ToolBar.ShowCaptions := True; | |
| 41 | + | ToolBar.Height := 40; | |
