Dynamic menu contribution to view toolbar does not work? [message #326337]

Hi,
I desire to contribute a submenu into my views local toolbar. However, the
contribution never show up and I cannot find out why. Is this supposed to
work?

....
<menuContribution locationURI="toolbar:myViewId?before=additions">
<menu
icon=" platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.ui/icons/full/obj16/warn_tsk.gi f "
id="toolbar.verbosityMenu"
label="%verbosityMenu.label"
tooltip="%verbosityMenu.tooltip">
<dynamic
class="x.y.z.VerbosityMenuContributionItem"
id="verbosityMenu.contributionItemProvider">
</dynamic>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
....

The CompoundContributionItem implementation is never called and the menu
isn't visible. How can I make this work? Any help is appricated.

Thanks, Regards,
Uwe Stieber

You can't add a submenu to a toolbar ... menus are for menu: and popup:

Or are you trying to create a toolitem with a dropdown menu? In that
case, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions/Dropdown_Command

Hi Paul,
thanks for the clarification. I've been looking indeed for creating a
toolitem with a dropdown menu.
