The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

By default, the built-in toolbar items render as buttons with an icon and text. It is possible to hide the text and show only the icon using the following CSS style.

.e-toolbar .e-tbar-btn-text, .e-toolbar .e-toolbar-items .e-toolbar-item .e-tbar-btn-text {
    display: none;
}

This is demonstrated in the following sample:

Custom toolbar items can be added by defining toolbar as a collection of ItemModel. Actions for this customized toolbar items are defined in the toolbarClick event.

By default, Custom toolbar items are in position Left. You can change the position by using the align property. In the below sample, we have applied position Right for the Collapse All toolbar item.

The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

If a toolbar item does not match with built-in items, it will be treated as custom toolbar item.

Grid have an option to use both built-in and custom toolbar items at same time.

In the below example, Add, Edit, Delete, Update, Cancel are built-in toolbar items and Click is custom toolbar item.
