How to persist setVisible/setToBeRendered changes across restarts? [message #1726536]

Hi,

I suspect I am missing something obvious, but I can't get this to work: I have a Tool Control in a Trim Contribution. Programmatically, I can cause it to vanish using MToolControl.setVisible/setToBeRendered, a change which is immediately reflected in the UI.

Alas, this change is not persisted across restarts. How to accomplish this?

FWIW, I've tried using different values of fragment/@apply in my plugin.xml, but to no avail.

Best wishes,

Andreas

Interestingly, if I set mToolControl.getParent().setToBeRendered(false), with the parent being the MTrimBar contributed by the workbench, then the toBeRendered state is persisted; I can see the attribute reflected in the workbench.xml after shutdown. But obviously I don't want to hide the entire trim bar, just my tool control within it.

Can someone please enlighten me why E4 (or its compatibility layer) persists the toBeRendered state of the trim bar, not not that of my tool control contributed via a fragment.e4xmi?
