Customize Toolbars with the Toolbar Preview Pane
You can customize a toolbar using the tree view under the Customizations In
<file name> pane or the Toolbar Preview pane. The Toolbar Preview pane allows
you to add and remove commands or controls visually in real-time instead of
just using the tree view. You can also interactively drag a command or control
in the preview pane to reposition it.
Customize Toolbars from the Application Window
The program allows you to customize toolbars that are displayed in the
application when the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor is open. You drag
commands from the Command List pane and drop then directly onto a visible
toolbar that is docked or floating in the application window. You can also
remove, reposition, or copy commands on a visible toolbar while the CUI
Editor is open.
Create Ribbon Panels from Toolbars
New ribbon panels can be created from a toolbar by dragging existing toolbars
from the Toolbars node under the Customizations In <file name> pane to the
Panels node under Ribbon in the Customizations In <file name> pane. When
the toolbar is dropped, you are prompted to convert a copy of the toolbar to
a ribbon panel. See
Ribbon Panels on page 201 for more information about
customizing ribbon panels.
