Description

A toolbar is created with a call to gtk_toolbar_new().

A toolbar can contain instances of a subclass of GtkToolItem. To add a GtkToolItem to the a toolbar, use gtk_toolbar_insert(). To remove an item from the toolbar use gtk_container_remove(). To add a button to the toolbar, add an instance of GtkToolButton.

Toolbar items can be visually grouped by adding instances of GtkSeparatorToolItem to the toolbar. If a GtkSeparatorToolItem has the "expand" property set to TRUE and the "draw" property set to FALSE the effect is to force all following items to the end of the toolbar.

Creating a context menu for the toolbar can be done by connecting to the "popup-context-menu" signal.
