How to add a menu to a toolbar [message #437937]

Hi,

I want to add a menu to a toolbar programmatically (like the new-menu
near the new-action in the eclipse IDE).
I know that I can add an Action or an ActionContributionItem to an
IToolBarManager but I don't know how to add a menu.
Can anybody give me some hints ?

Regards,
Hombre

Hi hombre,

i added a drop down box for change the author. First create an action
which implements IMenuCreator and extends Action like this:

package at.healthgate.ebmrc.client.actions;

import org.eclipse.jface.action.Action;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.IMenuCreator;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Menu;

public class TestAction extends Action implements IMenuCreator {

private Menu menu_ = null;

public void dispose() {
if ( this.menu_ != null ) {
this.menu_.dispose();
this.menu_ = null;
}
}

public Menu getMenu( Control parent ) {
if ( this.menu_ != null )
this.menu_.dispose();
this.menu_ = new Menu( parent );
// FILL menu with actions
return this.menu_;
}

public Menu getMenu( Menu parent ) {
return null;
}

}

Afterwards you add the menu to your coolbar in the ActionBarAdvisor:

protected void fillCoolBar( ICoolBarManager _cool_bar_manager ) {
super.fillCoolBar( _cool_bar_manager );
IToolBarManager tool_bar_manager = new ToolBarManager(
_cool_bar_manager.getStyle() );
tool_bar_manager.add( new Separator( "user" ) );
AuthorChangeAction author_change_action = new AuthorChangeAction();
tool_bar_manager.add( author_change_action );
ToolBarContributionItem toolbar_contribution_item = new
ToolBarContributionItem(tool_bar_manager );
_cool_bar_manager.add( toolbar_contribution_item );
}

For me this works.
