    Hi Sharif,

    There is an existing solution article that will most likely answer your question: Solution Article 11478824 

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    If you are using IC 6.1.6, you can use the CIW->Options->Toolbars menu item to pop open a Toolbar GUI.

    Hi Lawrence,

    I do not have access to "Solution Article 11478824 " as it is asking for some Host ID.

    Anyway, I learned how to create a toolbar. But I'm able to place the toolbar only in CIW.

    Can I place the toolbar in virtuoso Layout window as well??

    If yes, what do i need to modify in the below line??

     hiPlaceToolBar(window(1) myBar 'right) 

     

    Thanks in  advance..

     hiPlaceToolBar(hiGetCurrentWindow() myBar 'right)

    would add it to the current window. You just need to give the right window Id. The number of the window id is showin in the bottom left of each window.
