Reuse the save, new, print toolbar set [message #532224]

Hello there,

I wanted to reuse the toolbar that has the New Project drop-down, the save icon and the print icon in the standard Eclipse install (I am working with 3,5).

Plug-in spy says that it is contributed by org.eclipse.ui.workbench (
org.eclipse.ui.workbench (3.5.1.M20090826-0800a).

How do I go about adding this functionality?

Thanks

Greg

Hello Greg,

You'll have to extend the method fillCoolBar in your ActionBarAdvisor to initialize this toolbar with the actions.

At some point you'll have to define the following thing :

protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager cbManager) {
	IToolBarManager fileToolBar = new ToolBarManager(cbManager.getStyle());
	fileToolBar.add(getAction(ActionFactory.NEW_WIZARD_DROP_DOWN.getId()));
	fileToolBar.add(getAction(ActionFactory.SAVE.getId()));
	fileToolBar.add(getAction(ActionFactory.PRINT.getId()));
	cbManager.add(new ToolBarContributionItem(fileToolBar,IWorkbenchActionConstants.TOOLBAR_FILE));	
}

And that should make the controls you need to appear. Have a look at the ActionFactory to know more and discover other actions you may be interested in.

Note that this is sample code, you may need to initialize the appropriate group markers as well for proper interaction with contributions from other components...

Hope this helps,
Christophe

In addition to the help Chris gave, you can find where the IDE defines
its menus/toolbars in org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.WorkbenchActionBuilder

Thanks guys. I was wondering if I could actually define these actions (and the toolbar) as extensions (in the XML)?

FYI I actually used something like this:

protected void makeActions(final IWorkbenchWindow window) {
newWizard = ActionFactory.NEW_WIZARD_DROP_DOWN.create(window);
save = ActionFactory.SAVE.create(window);
print = ActionFactory.PRINT.create(window);

register(newWizard);
register(save);
register(print);
}

protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager cbManager) {
IToolBarManager fileToolBar = new ToolBarManager(cbManager.getStyle());
fileToolBar.add(newWizard);
fileToolBar.add(save);
fileToolBar.add(print);
cbManager.add(new ToolBarContributionItem(fileToolBar,IWorkbenchActionConstant s.TOOLBAR_FILE));
}
