Hi,

i've created my own Toolbar-Contribution (a comboBox). I created a new Class 'FileChooser' which extends WorkbenchWindowControlContribution. After changing the combos value a command get's executed. So far so good ...

Now i'd like to control the combo's enablement in the "normal" menu-way by evaluating the enabledWhen tags of the associated Command/Handler combination. I noticed the isEnabled()-method which is never called in the widgets lifecycle unfortunately.

What is the best way to participate in the declarative enableWhen configurationin plugin.xml. Extend another BaseClass (which one?). I didn't find any information regarding that issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thomas E.-E.
