| |
| <p CLASS="Para" Label="Type">There are three kinds of toolbars in the Workbench.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p CLASS="Para" Label="Type">The <i> main toolbar</i>, sometimes called the Workbench toolbar, |
| is displayed at the top of |
| the Workbench window directly beneath the menu bar. The contents of this toolbar change based on the active perspective. Items in the toolbar |
| might be enabled or disabled based on |
| the state of either the active view or editor. Sections of the main toolbar can be rearranged using the mouse. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <p CLASS="Para" Label="Type">There are also individual <i>view toolbars</i>, |
| which appear in the title |
| bar of a view. Actions in a view's toolbar apply only to the view in which |
| they appear. Some view toolbars include a <b>Menu</b> button, shown as an |
| inverted triangle, that contain actions for that view.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">Finally, the <i>shortcut bar</i> is a vertical toolbar that |
| appears along the left edge of the Workbench window. The shortcut bar allows |
| quick access to perspectives that are currently open. It also contains <i>fast |
| views</i>, which you can create as shortcuts to the views you use most often.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">In all cases, you can find out what toolbar buttons do by moving |
| your mouse pointer over the button and reading the tooltip that opens. See the |
| list of related reference topics below for a table of all toolbar buttons.</p> |
