THYBaseToolbarController

Overview

The THYBaseToolbarController base class provides methods for dealing with toolbar objects. The Hydra framework uses controller classes to establish a connection with a specific toolbar object.

You will not have to use this class directly, instead, you can use one of its descendants to specify the toolbar component that will be used by the Hydra framework for toolbar merging.

Note: You can read about menu and toolbar usage in the Hydra framework in this article. Please also look at the Actions sample shipped with Hydra to see menu and toolbar merging in action.
