Well, if you did it manually, you'd use:

var toolbar = new Ext.Toolbar({
    items: [{
        text: 'a'
    },{
        text: 'b'
    }, { // .......
        text: 'z'
    }]
});

So just write a loop to produce that same array!

how can i use loop here, can you explain

you can use character codes. A-Z 65-90, a-z 97-122. This is just a snippet from a plugin I had found on the site. Do a forum search for GridAZFilter

for (var i=65; i<91; i++) {
				items.push({
					text: String.fromCharCode(i),
					enableToggle: true,
					toggleGroup: 'AZfilter',
					toggleHandler: this.buttonToggleHandler,
					scope: this
				});
			}

You should add the code before the toolbar instance.

var yourItemsArray = [];

//loop
for(....)
{....}

var toolbar = new Ext.Toolbar({
       items: yourItemsArray
});
