Representing toggle state in action bar [message #483804]

I added some actions to an outline view for toggling on/off certain view
filters. I chose "toggle" as the action style. Clicking the button
does indeed turn the action on/off. But I'd like the icon to somehow
change to indicate the toggle state. Is there some way I can specify
this declaritively in the plugin.xml?

This helped me. Thanks for the link. I was surprised how hard this was
to figure out. In addition to the Eclipse API docs, I needed

* the link below
* samples from Eclipse Plug-ins book (3rd ed)
* the debugger to inspect the contents of the ExecutionEvent

to determine how to glean the info I needed. It seems that every time I
write a handler for a different type of menu/toolbar; I need the
debugger to help me figure how to dig the required info out of
ExecutionEvent.

Thanks again for the link.
