Overview of the Toolbox

BarTender's Toolbox is a set of panes, available when designing a template or data entry form, from which you can drag reusable objects and data sources onto the template, allowing you to quickly design items from scratch. You can modify the contents of the toolbox using the Toolbox submenu, located in the View menu. This submenu enables you to specify how you want to display the different panes of the Toolbox.

Select the Show All with Auto Hide On option to hide the toolbox panes when they are not in use. In Auto Hide mode, the panes minimize to tabs, with the default location along the left side of the application window. Move the cursor over a pane's tab to display the pane. As long as the mouse remains inside of the pane, it will continue to display.

In addition to activating Auto Hide using the submenu, you can activate it by clicking the icon located in the upper right corner of the desired pane. To turn off Auto Hide mode, click the icon.

If you reposition the Toolbox or an individual pane and turn Auto Hide on, the Toolbox will minimize to the title bar when you move the cursor off of it.
