Property Value

Type: Usual
A bounding box (group or character box) representing the area of its parent window that remains available given the placement of the toolbar.

A bounding box (group or character box) representing the area of its parent window that remains available given the placement of the toolbar. When a toolbar is used in the standard way, on a shell window or a data window, there is usually little need to use this property; the windows automatically adapt themselves to the toolbar. However, when placing the toolbar on a regular window, such as a TopAppWindow, the developer is responsible for adapting the window to the size that remains as the user moves the toolbar around. Thus, the window might respond to an expose event by asking its toolbar how much space remains.
