4.4.1Toolbar and Controls

The toolbar is usually located at the right hand side of your screen. If you want it to float freely above your window or anchor at any of the other three sides of your screen, simply make a mouse click on the upper end of the toolbar, keep the mouse key pressed and drag it to the new position.

The actual Frame area is located on the gray background screen of the Layout window. It is within the dimensions of this area that you can place Controls.

By definition, Controls are elements that represent a something further and/or enable you to actually realize the functions of your interface.

The Layout window includes the following Controls:
