<concept id="GUID-58318BAB-2EC4-4C9E-A7CA-580E701EE54F" xml:lang="en"><title>Adding

and removing toolbar items</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p> Toolbar items are controls that derive from the <codeph>CCoeControl</codeph> base

class. The floating toolbar can have only buttons (<xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknButton.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknButton</codeph></xref>) if it is focusing. The number of buttons displayed in floating toolbar

depends on the screen resolution in use. The fixed toolbar always has three

buttons. </p>

<p>You can define toolbar items either in the resource file or create them

dynamically at runtime. </p>

<p>If you define the items in resources, use the <codeph>TBAR_CTRL</codeph> structure.

Define at least the type, ID, and the control itself in this structure. For

the resource definitions, see <xref href="GUID-402C3EE7-8852-49B6-BE62-8588753FAC8F.dita">Constructing

the toolbar</xref>.</p>

<p>To add the items dynamically, use the toolbar functions as illustrated

in the examples below.</p>

<p>You can add items to a specific position in toolbar or as the last item

in the toolbar. </p>

<p>You can also remove toolbar items at runtime.</p>

<p>The example below shows how to add a button dynamically as the last toolbar

item.</p>

<codeblock xml:space="preserve">

void CMyAppView::AddItemAsLastToToolbarL()

    {

    CAknToolbar* toolbar = Toolbar();

    if ( toolbar )

        {

        CAknButton* newButton = CAknButton::NewL( R_MYAPP_BUTTON );

        toolbar->AddItemL( newButton, EAknCtButton, KButtonId, 0 );

        }

    }

</codeblock>

<p>The example below shows how to add a button dynamically as the first toolbar

item.</p>

<codeblock xml:space="preserve">

void CMyAppView::AddItemAsFirstToToolbarL()

    {

    CAknToolbar* toolbar = Toolbar();

    if ( toolbar )

        {

        CAknButton* newButton = CAknButton::NewL( R_MYAPP_BUTTON );

        // Last parameter the index at where to add the button

        toolbar->AddItemL( newButton, EAknCtButton, KButtonId, 0, 0 );

        }

    }

</codeblock>

<p>The example below shows how to remove a button from the toolbar based on

the button ID.</p>

<codeblock xml:space="preserve">

void CMyAppView::RemoveItemFromToolbar()

    {

    CAknToolbar* toolbar = Toolbar();

    if ( toolbar )

        {

        toolbar->RemoveItem( KButtonId );

        }

    }

</codeblock>
