the toolbar from applications or application views</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<section>      <p>To access the current toolbar (<xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknToolbar.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknToolbar</codeph></xref>, defined in <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/akntoolbar_8h-source.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>akntoolbar.h</codeph></xref>)
in applications, use the methods <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknAppUi.html#3fa2b237b46b9074374e352b912a4210" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknAppUi::CurrentPopupToolbar()</codeph></xref> or <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCEikAppUiFactory.html#3fa2b237b46b9074374e352b912a4210" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CEikAppUiFactory::CurrentPopupToolbar()</codeph></xref> in the case
of a floating toolbar. For a fixed toolbar, use <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknAppUi.html#6542dafaefd94c9903fe12385c65a701" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknAppUi::CurrentFixedToolbar()</codeph></xref> or <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCEikAppUiFactory.html#6542dafaefd94c9903fe12385c65a701" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CEikAppUiFactory::CurrentFixedToolbar()</codeph></xref>. The methods
return a pointer to either the application toolbar or a view-specific toolbar
(if defined). </p><p>To access the application toolbar directly from applications,
you can also call <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknAppUi.html#ed75774769dbeb3d960072e333eaa383" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknAppUi::PopupToolbar()</codeph></xref> and <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCEikAppUiFactory.html#ed75774769dbeb3d960072e333eaa383" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CEikAppUiFactory::PopupToolbar()</codeph></xref>. To access the view-specific toolbar as a client, call <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknView.html#183e12214247e0b3ca27ed99b8aab396" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknView::Toolbar()</codeph></xref>. These calls do not transfer
the ownership of the toolbar, so the framework takes care of the toolbar destruction.</p></section>
<section><p>The example below shows how to access the toolbar in the application
AppUi class. (You can also use <codeph>CEikAppUiFactory</codeph> methods.)</p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">void CMyAppUi::DoSomethingToToolbar()
