Hello,

I've created an application using a CoolBar containing s ToolBar. The coolbar is
layouted together with other widgets in the window using a FormLayout. There is
a menu item which should make the coolbar hidden when it's unchecked and visible
when it's checked.

When I call setVisible(false) on the CoolBar to hide it, it is invisible but the
space of the CoolBar is still occupied inside the window. How can I hide the
CoolBar so that other widgets in the window move up and take the free space of
the CoolBar?

Hiding a control does not remove it from layout. You'll need to hide the
control and change the form attachments to fill up the space.
