Using toolbars
Toolbars provide buttons for the most common tasks in DataWindow Designer.
You can move and dock or float toolbars, customize them, and create your own.
Toolbar basics
DataWindow Designer uses three toolbars: the PowerBar, PainterBar, and
StyleBar. You can hide a toolbar by right-clicking in the toolbar area and
clearing the check mark text to its name. If a toolbar is not hidden, it displays
as shown in Table 1-4.
