Re: Creating Custom toolbars

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

There are a few things to realise when you are doing this.  First of all,
GNOME_UIINFO_ITEM and friends are macros that expand to something suitable
for assigning as an initial value for a variable.

There are two ways to do what you want.  The first is to assign values to
the individual GnomeUIInfo structure members (which is slow and hard to
maintain).  The second is to define a number of variables (probably static
const) to hold the uiinfo structures for each button:
  GnomeUIInfo newbutton = GNOME_UIINFO_ITEM(...);
Now while creating the toolbar uiinfo array, just assign newbutton to an
array element.

Also, to terminate the array, use "toolbar[i].type = GNOME_APP_UI_ENDOFINFO".
