By default, the toolbar runs along the top of the screen and provides a shortcut for accessing the most commonly used commands in the menus.

LINGO's toolbar "floats." Thus, you can reposition it by dragging it to any part of the screen. You can also choose to suppress the toolbar by clearing the Toolbar button on the Interface tab of the Solver|Options command.

Each button on the toolbar corresponds to a menu command. Not all menu commands have a toolbar button, but, in general, the most frequently used commands have an equivalent button.

LINGO displays "tool tips" for each button. When you position the mouse over a button, a short description of what the button does appears in a pop up window and in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
