Toolbar

The toolbar is part of the IDE. It appear just below the Menu, and provides shortcut buttons to commonly used functions.

Components

From left to right, the toolbar consists of the following button components:

• Open - Opens a saved project. Clicking this button will cause a browse dialog to appear, asking you to locate a project to open.
• Save - Saves the project. Clicking this button will store changes to your project back to the file that it was loaded from or last saved to. If this is a new project with no file, this button will instead behave like Save As.

• Save As - Save the project with a specified location and format. Clicking this button will cause a browse dialog to appear, asking where to save the file and what format to use. By default, this information will be filled in with the previous file information for your current project.

• New resource (9 resource buttons)
  • Clicking on one of these buttons will add a new resource of the corresponding kind. The resource will appear in the tree, inside of its respective folder, after all the other children of the same kind. A Resource frame will also appear in the MDI for editing your resource. The respective resources are listed in Resource tree#Kind.

• Event selector (All the way on the right) - This button toggles the visibility of the Event selector, which is used to add and replace events in Objects (probably the most frequently used resource).
