Go Up to Adding a Toolbar Using a Panel Component


Speed buttons use their appearance to give the user clues as to their state and purpose. Because they have no caption, it's important that you use the right visual cues to assist users.

The table below lists some actions you can set to change a speed button's appearance:

Setting speed buttons' appearance :

To make a speed button: Set the toolbar's:

Appear pressed

GroupIndex property to a value other than zero and its Down property to True.

Appear disabled

Enabled property to False.

Have a left margin

Indent property to a value greater than 0.



If your application has a default drawing tool, ensure that its button on the toolbar is pressed when the application starts. To do so, set its GroupIndex property to a value other than zero and its Down property to True.
