Attributes... Subordinate window for editing the tool bar control's attribute values. For more information, see Tool Bar Control Attributes Subwindow. (Normally, all attributes of a dialog element can be edited in the attributes window. Instead, the attributes of each tool bar item in the tool bar control can be edited here. For reasons of space, the tool bar control's attributes are edited in a separate subwindow).
