virtual xtd::forms::tool_bar_appearance xtd::forms::tool_bar::appearance ( ) const

virtualnoexcept

Gets the value that determines the appearance of a toolbar control and its buttons.

Returns

One of the xtd::forms::tool_bar_appearance values. The default is xtd::forms::tool_bar::appearance::normal.

Remarks

The xtd::forms::tool_bar::appearance property affects the appearance of the buttons assigned to the toolbar. When the appearance is set to xtd::forms::tool_bar_appearance::normal, the toolbar's buttons appear three-dimensional and raised. Set the xtd::forms::tool_bar::appearance property of the toolbar to xtd::forms::tool_bar_ppearance::flat to give the toolbar's buttons a flat appearance. As the mouse pointer moves over the flat buttons, they appear raised and three-dimensional. Separators on a xtd::forms::tool_bar with the xtd::forms::tool_bar::appearance property set to xtd::forms::tool_bar_appearance::flat appear as etched lines rather than spaces between the raised buttons. The flat style buttons give your application a more Web-like look.
