ToolBar types include:
Menu Buttons: Provide one click access to any function accessible through the menu system.
Function Keys: Are used to send the indicated function key to the host.
Quick Colors: Allows the user to quickly select and change emulation colors.
Connection ToolBar: Provides quick access to related functions including a drop down box showing the configured connections, launching the session configuration dialog, starting, stopping and viewing traces.
