toolbar visibility</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section><title>Floating toolbar</title><p>You can define in your application

view whether the floating toolbar is shown on view activation. By default,

the floating toolbar is hidden. </p><p>You can also show or hide the toolbar

by changing the toolbar visibility straight from the toolbar itself. In this

case, however, remember that closing the application or deactivating the view

resets the toolbar visibility state. So after e.g. view deactivation, the

toolbar is set visible according to the default setting (defined by the view).</p></section>

<section> <title>Fixed toolbar</title><p>The UI framework always sets the

fixed toolbar visible when an application or view is activated. You can change

the toolbar visibility straight from the toolbar itself, like in the case

of a floating toolbar. However, when hiding the toolbar with the <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknToolbar.html#f48c9775e05e7a6130a7c3c0d2a91199" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknToolbar::SetToolbarVisibility()</codeph></xref> method, you should

note that with that method the toolbar window is completely hidden and some

other control should draw to its area to keep the area updated. If this is

not applicable, you can use another method: <codeph>HideItemsAndDrawOnlyBackground()</codeph>.

This will hide the toolbar but draw its background in the toolbar area. </p></section>

<section><p>The example below shows how to hide or show the toolbar. You can

also use <codeph>SetToolbarVisibility()</codeph> with the fixed toolbar if

you don't need to draw the toolbar background. </p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">void CMyAppView::ChangeToolbarVisibility( TBool aHide )
