Toolbar
A toolbar consists of a set of iconized items from which the user makes a selection by clicking the mouse pointer on it. Toolbar items typically consist of buttons that provide shortcuts for frequently used menu commands or for easy access to other features or frames.
The basic toolbar of the text editor frame has the following segments:
The first segment contains a cluster of buttons for the New, Open, and Save commands on the File menu.
The second segment contains a button group for Cut, Copy, and Paste on the Edit menu.
The third segment provides a set of controls for font changes.
