Is there an example of pulldown behaviour of a command [message #665337]

I would like a command to have a pulldown menu.
The command can have a finite number of states, and the command in the toolbar should reflect the icon of the current state.
When I click on it, a pull down menu with the icons of all possible states should be shown, and the current one should be checked.

I think this is possible, as I've seen
UIElement#setDropDownId()

but I haven't seen any example or explanation in any place, including here:
http://blog.eclipse-tips.com/search?q=commands+part

I've already seen example of RadioState, without the pulldown menu.

Thanks in advance

David

You would put a command in the toolbar and then use a menuContribution
to fill in the menu dropdown part.

See https://github.com/paulweb515/commandsEclipseCon2011 the
org.eclipse.example.commands project. It has examples of both dropdown
toolitems, dynamic menus, and radio buttons.
