I'm working on Eclipse plugin and I add an action to the statusbar by
ToolBarManager manager = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.HORIZONTAL);
manager.add(updatingNewsAction);
However I've got problem with removing the updatingNewsAction from the toolbar. It's removed, but I can see that only when something updates the statusbar - for example minimazing/maximazing the borderline views. Then after reading some blog post I've wrote:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow win = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = win.getActivePage();
IWorkbenchPart part = page.getActivePart();
IWorkbenchPartSite site = part.getSite();
IViewSite vSite = (IViewSite) site;
IActionBars actionBars = vSite.getActionBars();
if (actionBars == null) {
return;
}
IStatusLineManager statusLineManager = actionBars.getStatusLineManager();
if (statusLineManager == null) {
return;
}
statusLineManager.update(true);
}
});
Which is a step forward, because it gets updated when switching focus between views, but still it doesn't happen immediately and without user interactions. How to update the status bar programmatically immediately?
