Howto access a status line contribution [message #666617]

Hi,

I have created a custom contribution to the statusline using an
implementation of WorkbenchWindowControlContribution. This contribution
is added using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point
(toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status). The contribution is shown in the
statusline.

Now I have a dialog that should change the content of the added
contribution. How can I access this contribution? The dialog might be
opened without any active editor or view. (So I can't use
getViewSite().getActionBars()...)

Any hints?

Thanks.
Karsten

You cannot track down a specific instance of something added through
org.eclipse.ui.menus. However, have your contribution read its status
from a status manager or publish an interface that would allow it to be
looked up by your code that wants to change the status.
