help needed on toolbar in emacs 23.

[Michal]

Hallo group readers!
Is there any document that would describe aspects of toolbar in emacs
23.

For example I added some icons to c++-mode-map's tool-bar.
Then I opened tool.cpp file which contains my new icons.
Then I run gdb, set breakpoint to some place in main.cpp so the program
stopped there (tool bar contents totally differs for such buffer).
But it happens that my c++-mode-map's tool-bar icons also in main.cpp
tool bar.

Now I want to add icon to be visible only in main.cpp like buffers (ie.
buffers where gdb is invoked).

how to do this?

Hopefuly my explanation is clear.

best regards,
Michal

I am still diving into the problem.
I see that there is tool-bar-map, which probably (?) keeps look
of toolbar of buffer currently visited (???)
But for example, when I visit tool.cpp file, icons I added
c++-mode-map's tool-bar are not visible in toolbar of this buffer. why?

When I visit main.cpp (the one gdb stopped thus main.cpp buffer has
another toolbar contents), I see that tool-bar-map contents are
different, which is good because toolbar contents of buffer where gdb
stopped are different.
But what surprizes me (my unnecesarilly) is the fact that tool-bar-map
is global there and buffer is still in c++-mode. Does it mean that gdb
 overwrites global tool-bar-map.
All this is very curious to me and I still cannot find any documentation
on how to deal with toolbars in emacs.

I wonder now, maybe I should just ask about my original problem that
would lead me to the question. Maybe in new message.
