I have an RCP application based on the e3 api running on 4.5.2. It has a toolbar (which is created in an ActionBarAdvisor). The toolbar is not draggable. Where can I change this?

Thanks,
Peter

IIRC The toolbar is not draggable by default.

To make it draggable, remove the NoMove tag from your toolbar.

If this does not work, report a Platform UI bug and describe exactly what you need.

Peter says he's running on the E3.x layer though, Patrick, where toolbars are normally draggable. From Peter's symptoms it sounds like the dragHandle.png file is not being resolved, or perhaps he's running a custom theme?

I haven't got a custom theme, just a single color definition in the org.eclipse.ui.themes extension point.

Are you able to drag the toolbars in your IDE?

If yes, then there's a problem with your setup: check your log output and see if there's anything reported. Please verify that you're including all of the bundles referenced by the org.eclipse.rcp feature and its included features.

If no, then please attach a screenshot and check your logs for errors. In the screenshot, I'm looking for the little 'dimples' that are the drag-handles. Those are the draggable bits.

I am seeing the same problem with locked toolbars. We have a very large application based on 3.7.2 and as a first step, we are using the compatibility layer to run our plug-ins under 3.5.

There are no errors in the workspace log file.

I cannot figure out how to unlock the toolbars.

Attached are snapshots of the old vs the new.

Yes, I can drag toolbars in the IDE. For the RCP app: There is no output in the log (besides other non-ui related stuff).

In the attached testtoolbars.zip is a minimal project created by the e3 RCP wizard. I added a feature, a product and some toolbar items in the ActionBarAdvisor. The toolbar is not draggable.

I have found a solution:

First define a product extension in order to define a css:

      <product
            application="testtoolbars.app" name="Test Toolbars" >
         <property
               name="applicationCSS"
               value="platform:/plugin/testtoolbars/style/testtoolbars.css">
         </property>
         <property
               name="applicationCSSResources"
               value="platform:/plugin/testtoolbars/style/">
         </property>
         <property
               name="applicationXMI"
               value="platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/LegacyIDE.e4xmi">
         </property>

... more properties

      </product>

Next, add the following in the stylesheet:


.MToolBar.Draggable {
        handle-image:  url(./dragHandle.png); 
}

.MToolControl.Draggable {
        handle-image:  url(./dragHandle.png); 
}

and put the png into the folder.

That's it.
