I'm on a program where part of the UI requires a button embedded in the main menu area with File,Edit,View,Help,etc. Does anyone know of anyway to do this? A bonus would be if you know how to do it and always embed it the farthest right of the window

Thanks

Max

Did you try using 'org.eclipse.ui.menus' .
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseCommands/article.html

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
      <command
            id="org.eclipse.gef.examples.shapes.SampleCommand"
            name="Command">
      </command>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
      <handler
            class="org.eclipse.gef.examples.shapes.SampleCommandHandler"
            commandId="org.eclipse.gef.examples.shapes.SampleCommand">
      </handler>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
         <command
               commandId="org.eclipse.gef.examples.shapes.SampleCommand"
               icon="src/org/eclipse/gef/examples/shapes/icons/ellipse24.gif"
               label="Sample Action"
               style="push">
         </command>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>

I tried that and it does add the menu item with the label but still acts like a menu. When you click the button once, it highlights blue and nothing happens. If you move to other menus after this, they drop down. If you click it again, it launches my handler as expected. The problem is that it doesn't behave like a true button on toolbar. I'm pretty sure this is impossible to do but thought I'd ask. Thanks for the reply.
