Understanding Toolbars

Toolbars provide convenient access to commonly used functions. These functions can also be accessed by using the menus, but the toolbars let you do it with just one click.

There are six toolbars: Chart Analysis, Command Line, Control, Drawing, Main, and Resolution. Any of the toolbars can be made floating, allowing them to be positioned anywhere, or hidden if they are not needed.


Hiding and Redisplaying Toolbars

All toolbars are displayed by default.

To hide a toolbar select View in the main menu, then click Toolbars and uncheck the toolbar that is to be hidden.

A floating toolbar can also be hidden by clicking the Close button on the toolbar's title bar.

To redisplay a toolbar select View in the main menu, then click Toolbars and check the toolbar that is to be displayed.

The Resolution toolbar can also be hidden or redisplayed by clicking the Resolution   icon.


Floating or Docking Toolbars

By default, toolbars are displayed docked to the top of the application window. Any of the toolbars can be made floating or docked. A floating toolbar has its own title bar and can be positioned anywhere on your computer’s desktop.

Toolbars can be made floating by using one of the following methods:

  • Double-click the move handle of a docked toolbar; or:
  • Position the mouse pointer over the toolbar's move handle; hold the left mouse button and drag the toolbar to the desired position.

Toolbars can be docked by one of the following methods:

  • Double-click the toolbar's title bar. The toolbar will dock along the top border of the application window; or:
  • Position the mouse pointer over the title bar of a floating toolbar; hold the left mouse button and drag the toolbar to any of the four borders of the application window. Once the mouse pointer comes close to a border of the window, an outline will indicate where the toolbar will be docked. Releasing the mouse button will dock the toolbar.


Note: Toolbars' last chosen positions are retained the next time that the application is started.


Resizing Floating Toolbars

A floating toolbar can be resized the same way as any other window.

Note: Toolbars' last chosen sizes are retained the next time that the application is started.

Understanding Command Line

Command Line

Command Line toolbar allows the active window's chart resolution or symbol to be changed simply by entering a text command.

Type the appropriate command in the Command Line   combo box and press Enter.

To select a previously used command use the drop-down function.


Examples:

Type in: "5 minutes" to change the chart resolution to 5 minutes.

Type in: "AMD" to change the symbol to AMD.


Customizing Toolbars

With Custom Toolbars, the user can not only choose which toolbar to display, but also which buttons appear on the toolbar. Adding more toolbars and buttons makes it easier to access certain functions. Consolidating the most frequently used buttons onto one toolbar saves space and permits a larger display area in the workspace.

To customize the toolbars,

  1. Select View from the main menu, then select Toolbars and Customize. The Customize window will appear.
  2. In the Toolbars pane, select the type of toolbar to customize. Check the selected toolbar’s check box to display the toolbar. Uncheck the selected toolbar to remove the toolbar.
  3. In the Commands pane, select which buttons will appear on the toolbar.
  4. Select the Close button.
