Since the addition of the ToolbarItem and StandardToolbarItem classes to REALbasic, developers have had mixed feelings.
Sure, they are toolbars that aren’t too difficult to manage, but other 3rd-party solutions existed that were not only more complete, but cross-platform. What REAL Software provided us was a set of classes that were pretty much half-baked.
The classes are built upon the HIToolbar in Mac OS X’s Human Interface Toolbox. These are the same toolbars as Finder, Mail, and System Preferences. Except they are missing most of the functionality.
To help correct this mess, the HIToolbar and HIToolbarItem REALbasic classes were created. They also just ???wrapper??
