Using a single toolbar in a multi-page folder

One significant improvement in the area of links is that you can use a single toolbar to control objects on any number of pages in a tab folder. For example, a toolbar with one of the Update bands of buttons for Add, Modify, and Delete can be the TableIO-Source for any number of viewers or other updateable objects in a tab folder. The state of the buttons and the equivalent menu items switches automatically as the user selects one page and then another, and the actions on one page properly affect the state of the buttons and menu items on other pages. In addition, a toolbar with a Navigation band can be the Navigation-Source for SDOs on any number of pages in a folder. The state of the buttons changes to reflect the query position of the SDO on each page.
