How toolbars behave

In Windows, Adobe Dreamweaver toolbars generally act the same as standard Windows toolbars. Adobe Dreamweaver toolbars have the following characteristics:

  • You can drag and drop toolbars to dock them, undock them, and reposition them relative to other toolbars.
  • You can horizontally dock toolbars to the top or bottom of the frame window.

    In the Adobe Dreamweaver workspace, which integrates all the Adobe Dreamweaver document windows within a single parent frame, you can specify whether toolbars dock to the workspace frame or to the document window.

    For toolbars that dock to the Adobe Dreamweaver workspace frame, there is only one instance of each toolbar. In this case, the toolbars always operate on the document in front. In the Adobe Dreamweaver workspace, you can dock toolbars above, below, or to the left or right of the Insert toolbar. Toolbars that are attached to the Adobe Dreamweaver workspace frame do not automatically disable when there is no document window. The toolbar items determine whether they are enabled when no document is open.

    When toolbars stay docked to the document window, there is one instance for each window. Toolbars that are attached to a document window completely disable themselves when their window is not the front document and rerun all their update handlers when their window comes to the front.

    You cannot drag and drop toolbars between the document window and the Adobe Dreamweaver workspace frame.

  • Toolbars remain a fixed size. A toolbar does not shrink if the container shrinks or if other toolbars are placed next to it.
  • You can show or hide toolbars from the View >Toolbars menu.
  • Toolbars cannot overlap.
  • Only the outline of the toolbar appears while you drag it.

On the iOS, toolbars are always attached to the document window. They can be shown or hidden from the menu, but you cannot drag and drop, rearrange, or undock them.
