ToolBar

The ToolBar renders a tree view as a horizontal button bar with dropdown menus, typically placed in the NorthView of a layout. Folders become dropdown buttons; views become clickable menu items.

Overview

NorthView:
  Controller: ToolBar
  TreeView: MainMenu

The menu structure is defined in a separate tree view YAML file (e.g. MainMenu.yaml), shared with TreePanel and TilePanel.

Configuration

Property	Type	Default	Description
TreeView	String	MainMenu	Name of the tree view YAML file that defines the menu structure

Tree view YAML

The same Type: Tree YAML used by TreePanel and TilePanel:

Type: Tree
Folder: Options
  View: Parties
Folder: Lookup tables
  View: Build AutoList
    Model: HAIR
    MainTable:
      Controller:
        PopupWindow:
          Width: 320
          Height: 160
Folder: User
  View:
    Controller: ChangePassword
  View:
    Controller: Logout

This is the result:

The same MainMenu is rendered as a ToolBar (red highlighted) and a TreePanel (blue highlighted).

View item properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
ImageName	String	(from view)	Override the icon displayed next to the menu item
DisplayLabel	String	(from view)	Override the label shown in the menu item. Does not affect the tab caption (see below)

Menu label and tab caption

The DisplayLabel node override controls only the text shown in the dropdown menu. When the view opens in a tab, the tab caption always uses the view's own DisplayLabel (defined in the view YAML file), regardless of the node override.

View: USER_ViewDocNominativi
  DisplayLabel: Riepilogo        # menu item shows "Riepilogo"
                                  # tab caption shows "Riepilogo Documenti" (from the view)
