Customizing menus and toolbars

Menus and toolbars are completely customizable. You can—

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ add or remove menu and toolbar buttons and commands

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ add or remove toolbars and menus themselves

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ create new menus and toolbars

Any customization is saved permanently in the system registry and restored automatically next time SQL Navigator is run.

When SQL Navigator is first installed, each of its toolbars contains only a few toolbar buttons—far fewer than the number that are available for use.

You use the Customize dialog to change the contents of every toolbar to suit your way of working.

To open the Customize dialog

1 On a docked toolbar, click the More Buttons button, and then click Add or Remove Buttons.

—or—

On a floating toolbar, right-click to display the shortcut menu.

2 Choose Customize.

3 In the Commands tab, select a Category to view the available toolbar buttons in that category.

4 The Commands list for each category contains all the available buttons.

Some buttons are available only for specified toolbars. For example, DB Navigator buttons are available only for the DB Navigator toolbar.

To reset toolbars to the default settings

1 On the far right of the main menu bar or of any toolbar, click the $image\Sqln0202.gif$ (More Buttons) button.

2 Choose Add or Remove Buttons.

3 Select the items to be reset, and then click Reset Toolbar. Note that any previous customizations will be lost.

4 Confirm the prompt to reset the selected toolbars.

To display or hide individual toolbars

To add or remove individual commands
