[109:7] extends: Node, Control
The ToolBar class wraps the JavaFX ToolBar control, a bar that holds a row
of action-oriented controls such as buttons, toggle buttons, and separators.
By default the bar is oriented horizontally, but it can be switched to
vertical using setOrientation. Items that do not fit within the visible
area are automatically placed in an overflow menu accessible from a small
arrow button at the end of the bar. ToolBar inherits the full set of
Control, Region, and Node CSS properties for flexible visual customization.
