Bar Layout

There are two ways of creating your bar layout. The traditional way is using the Bar Manager component, which owns multiple Bar objects. This approach grants you multiple benefits, such as sharing bar items between separate bars, or the centralized control over bar appearances and settings. On the other hand, when you do not need multiple bars within one window, you can follow the simplified approach and use standalone bar controls. Each standalone bar control represents a bar of the specific type (main menu bar, status bar, regular toolbar) that does not require a parent Bar Manager component. Topics in this section provide detailed info on both approaches.
