wx.toolBar.AddSimpleTool (old?)

Hi,

While printing the doc of “AddSimpleTool” function, it says “Old method of adding…”. Why? What’s new one? Is it going to be deprecated?
Next, How do I align label/tool on a toolbar on the right side of it. I mean by default it adds from left to right in order of creation, but few of them I would
like to add on the right side of it.

The latest Demo still uses the AddSimpleTool() API, so I wouldn't get too worried...yet. The docs have lots of Add methods, most of which seem to be for explicit widgets. I think AddLabelTool might be the replacement since the docs call it "The full AddTool() function":

The methods with "Label" in the name, but "new" and "old" are relative terms. I think the new Label versions of the methods were added way back in 2.3 or something like that.

No, it's just a thin wrapper around DoAddTool so it doesn't cost much to keep it.

Unfortunately wx doesn't have support for that in the toolbar API yet.
