Bar Properties Dialog Box
This dialog box has two uses:
Creating a new navigation bar
(click New on the Button
& NavBar Tool Infobar). For this, you create the design for a
single button and use this dialog box to create the other buttons.
Editing an existing navigation
bar (click Edit properties on
the Button & NavBar Tool Infobar). This lets you change the number
of buttons and so on in the navigation bar.
You can also use this dialog box to create a BackBar. (A graphic that appears behind the buttons.)

2. Select the entire button design - see Selecting navigation bar objects.
