Glue in menu bar items [message #1703048]

I need to have application with 2 menu bars.
First - standard on the left would show e.g. Edit,View,Help menu group items and second on the right would be simple icons with actions like close, take window out etc.

On TrimmedWindow I mark Main Menu - and this is the menu I talk about.

How to achieve that?

The right one is not a menu-bar but another toolbar. Does the toolbar on
the right have to be extensible?

If you can make that fixed you can use the "efx.window.root.fxml" to
relocate the MenuBar in an HBox with a fixed toolbar on the right.

If the toolbar on the right needs to be defined through the e4xmi-File
you'd need to define you own window renderer who takes one of the
trim-elements relocating them on the right of the screen.

Yes. Right bar shall be resizeable (new items can be added). They do not need to be defined in e4xmi file.

Well then as I said use the customization support for the trimmedwindow!

See
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/experimental/compensator/org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.app/src/org/eclipse/fx/code/compensator/app/ApplicationDecoration.fxml

where I position a TextField right to the MenuBar.

If you want a default-Window-Decoration just use
NativeDecoratedTrimmedWindow instead of DefaultTrimmedWindowPane.
