hide action from toolbar [message #463702]

Hi there,

I am trying to hide an action from the toolbar without success. Removing
the menubarPath-Attribute hides it from the menu, but doing the same
with toolbarPath still results in an icon on the toolbar.
How do i avoid this? Are there other/better ways to contribute only to
the menubar from within a pluign?

TIA

Tobi

Are you using actionSet?

an <action/> element with only a menubarPath will only place the action
in the menu ... it can't do anything without a toolbarPath attribute.

Odds are whatever you are seeing in the toolbar is coming from somewhere
else. Did you add something in your ApplicationActionBarAdvisor?

Yes, forgot to mention it.

Here it does!?
Removing the toolbarPath-Attribute still places an icon on the toolbar.
After commenting the action out it is gone.

My ApplicationActionBarAdvisor is untouched, no contributions there.

The plugin.xml says:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
<actionSet
id="ntls.econ.rcp.actionSet"
label="Mainmenu Action Set"
visible="true">
<menu
id="windowMenu"
label="&Window">
<separator name="extrasGroup"/>
</menu>
<action
class="ntls.econ.rcp.actions.OpenPreferencesWindowAction"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
id="ntls.econ.rcp.actions.OpenPreferencesWindowAction"
label="&Preferences ..."
menubarPath="windowMenu/extrasGroup"
toolbarPath="doesntmatter"
tooltip="Preferences"/>
</actionSet>
</extension>

Comment out the action, so that nothing appears.

Then make sure you don't have a toolbarPath="doesntmatter" (which will
currently create a toolbar for that action).
