Hi,

We've been using regular buttons as editor contributions. We'd like to
consolidate some such contributions into a dropdown.

Is there some extension point that lets me contribute pulldowns on the
toolbar for *editors* ?

Any pointers to code snippets would be cool.

Cheers,

No, although I think there is an open bug for it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=205164

You might have to both set pulldown as the style and implement
IActionDelegate2 so you can set the IMenuCreator on the incoming action.

First of all, there is no special/local tool bar for editors like there
is for views. The stuff ends up in the global tool bar. The text editor
for example contributes the Next/Previous Annotation as pull-down using
the org.eclipse.ui.actionSets extension point. For details see:
/org.eclipse.ui.editors/plugin.xml

Dani,

Can you please exaplain why there is no local toolbar for editors? I have
an RCP wherein the form I use in an editor uses a toolbar accessed through
IToolBarManager tbm = form.getToolBarManager(). Isn't this toolbar local
to the editor?

Maybe forms support this but the normal workbench layout doesn't.

As Dani mentioned, that is part of org.eclipse.ui.forms support (not one
of the workbench toolbars). You can create an SWT toolbar anywhere you
want, really. You just have to populate it yourself.

In 3.3 you can populate an arbitrary ToolBarManager using
org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point, if you wanted to make it
extensible. You would define a unique ID for that menu (ex:
my.view.id.form.toolbar) and then call
IMenuService#populateContributionManager(myToolbarManager,
"toolbar:my.view.id.form.toolbar")

you would need to call releaseContributions(*) in your dispose() method.

Later,

Hi,

I came with the same problem. Consolidating actions with a pulldown and
enabeling it for a specific editor is impossible. The "pulldown" style
for an editor action does not exist. This would be a nice to have
feature in a future version of Eclipse (3.4, 4.0). What do you think?

Thanks,

Mircea
