Toolbar

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

The K2 for Visual Studio toolbar enables you to customize the layout of the design canvas and perform standard functions. The toolbar is accessible by right clicking on the general toolbar menu area and selecting & enabling the K2 Studio Designer. The icons may appear disabled depending on the object currently selected, and are enabled once the appropriate object or objects are selected.

The K2 for Visual Studio Toolbar should not be confused with the K2 Toolbox.
