UltraWinToolbars represents a tool in two ways, as a root tool and an instance tool. Root tools are the tools that appear in the run-time customizer; their purpose is to create the tools that will appear on a toolbar or menu. Instance tools are the tools that the user actually interacts with; they appear on toolbars and/or menus. Each instance tool is related to exactly one root tool. Each root tool may have multiple instance tools derived from it. For example, a "FileSave" root tool may have two instance tools in an application - one displaying only text and appearing on the File menu, and one displaying only an image and appearing on the Standard toolbar.
Although functionally treated as distinct objects, root and instance tools share a close relationship. Changes made to a root tool will affect all instance tools derived from that root. Changes to an instance tool may affect only the one instance, or they may affect the root tool and by extension other instances of that root.
For a complete discussion of the difference between root and instance tools, see the following section of the help: Developer’s Guide > The Toolset > Controls and Components > WinToolbarsManager > Understanding WinToolbarsManager.
This property will return True for a root tool, False for an instance tool.
