Positioning of Items in Toolbar/Coolbar [message #332916]

Hi,

I need to add an Action to the end of a toolbar (rightmost position).

Somebody knows here how to control the positioning of elements on the
toolbar/coolbar?

Can I add one action to the leftmost position and another to the rightmost
positon?

Thanks in advance.

you need to have something in their already, a well known ID, and then
use that.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for your reply.

It is possible, somehow, to add an action to the leftmost location and
another one on the rightmost location as an example?

Thanks again.

Yes, if you have a well known ID already at the leftmost position and
use after=<well known ID>

Aha. So how does one get an ID at that (or some other) position of the toolbar or the statusbar? Can
this also be done e.g. with trims to place a contribution at the top, the bottom
or the center of a trim?

As it depends on the set of features loaded, you can't really know ...
if you are an RCP app you can control what goes into the trim/status and
so place things exactly. If you are simply a plugin, you have to set a
breakpoint and find out which ID is at the end.
