PowerBuilder provides an easy way to add toolbars to a window: when you are defining an item in the Menu painter for a menu that will be associated with an MDI frame window, an MDI sheet, or a main window, you simply specify that you want the menu item to display in the toolbar with a specific picture. At runtime, PowerBuilder automatically generates a toolbar for the window containing the menu.
