Details
A Toolbar Button is typically used to perform an action as part of a toolbar or Ribbon. Toolbar button is very similar to Push Button, however a toolbar button cannot take focus. It can therefore only be activated by the used clicking on it either with a mouse or via touch. Toolbar button has an Image and Caption, and can also have a Menu attached.
