Toolbar Toolbar

Toolbar - Definition and Overview

In a graphical interface on a computer monitor a toolbar is a row, column, or block of onscreen buttons or icons that, when clicked, activate certain functions of the program.

Toolbars are seen in common applications such as Microsoft Word, and as add-ons for web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla. Prominent toolbars include the Google Toolbar, MSN Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar and the Ask Jeeves Toolbar.

The first toolbar appeared in Microsoft Excel 3.0 in 1990.
