Toolbar is a area which is situated inside the main window of any applications on top. Tool Bar contains multiple command buttons for shortcuts.

Here, you will see a simple toolbar, Which have three command buttons like: cut, copy and paste with small images. For showing these three buttons on the toolbar of the frame various APIs as follows have been used:

JToolBar():

JToolBar.HORIZONTAL
This is the constant field of the JToolBar class which support to situating the Tool Bar horizontal on the frame.

Here is the code of program:


import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;



public class CreateToolbar{

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Create a toolbar Which have three 

buttons Such as: Cut, Copy, Paste");

    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar("Toolbar", JToolBar.HORIZONTAL);

    JButton cutbutton = new JButton(new ImageIcon("cut.gif"));

    toolbar.add(cutbutton);

    JButton copybutton = new JButton(new ImageIcon("copy.gif"));

    toolbar.add(copybutton);

    JButton pastebutton = new JButton(new ImageIcon("paste.gif"));

    toolbar.add(pastebutton);

    frame.getContentPane().add(toolbar,BorderLayout.NORTH);

    frame.setUndecorated(true);

    frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    frame.setSize(500,400);
