Window toolbar.

Modulerequire("gui")
TypeClass
PlatformsmacOS

This view is only implemented for macOS by wrapping NSToolbar. The API is still experimental and will be changed in future. Currently certain items are not aligned correctly in toolbar.

The toolbar items are not added manually like the normal views, instead you have to implement the get_item delegate which creates items on request, and then call SetDefaultItemIdentifiers to specify the default items to show.

const toolbar = gui.Toolbar.create('my-toolbar')
toolbar.getItem = (toolbar, identifier) => {
  switch (identifier) {
    case 'entry':
      const entry = gui.Entry.create()
      const minSize = entry.getMinimumSize()
      minSize.width = 200
      const maxSize = { width: 2 << 30 - 1, height: minSize.height }
      return { label: 'Address', view: entry, minSize, maxSize }
    case 'button':
      const button = gui.Button.create('GO')
      button.setImage(gui.Image.createFromPath('go.png'))
      return {
        label: 'GO',
        minSize: {width: 30, height: 35},
        view: button
      }
  }
}
toolbar.setDefaultItemIdentifiers(['entry', 'button'])
toolbar.setDisplayMode('icon')
window.setToolbar(toolbar)
