Hi,
I need to add a toolbar to a particular section of eclipse form in my
application. I want to do this using plugins so that i can reuse the
commands.... Is there a way to do that....this form is on my editor.....

Once you have the toolbar added to your section through the form toolkit you can get its ToolBarManager.

You can then use the IMenuService to populate your toolbar from an ID:
IMenuService m = (IMenuService) getSite().getService(IMenuService.class);
m.populateContributionManager(tbManager, "toolbar:my.editor.id.section.id");

You just have to remember to releaseContributions(tbManager) when the toolbar/section/editor gets disposed.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion. That looks fine.But i m stuck on how to actually
add a toolbar to a form section?
I can add the toolbar to a form as
formToolbar=(ToolBarManager)form.getToolBarManager();

IMenuService

ms=(IMenuService)getSite().getService(IMenuService.class);

ms.populateContributionManager((ContributionManager) formToolbar,

"toolbar:Prototype.src.com.ibm.safr.we.ui.editors.Lookup");

formToolbar.update(true);

Is there a way to do it similarly with sections?
