Need to place a label in toolbar [message #326470]

Hi,

Our plugin needs a label to displayed in the toolbar, but shouldn't be shown in the menu. i.e. like actionSet shown in menu and toolbar.

We just need to show a label in the toolbar to show status like signed in or signed out. So, we don't need to show in the menu.

Could someone please suggest how to achieve this.

Thank You,
dheer

org.eclipse.ui.menus can be used to place a Control (like a label) in a
toolbar. See the extension point description.

Of course if it's like a view, you can add your own ControlContribution
to the toolbar using getViewSite().getActionBars().getToolBarManager()

Later,
PW
