Activating "print" button and menu selection [message #115796]

I've tried everything that I can think of. Read the FAQ. Scoured the
manual. But have been unable to figure out how to activate the "print"
button in the tool bar and the "print" option in the "file" menu. Can
someone please give me a hint about how to solve this problem?

Thanks
Peter

Also, if you haven't done so, read the parts on "delegates" in this article:

Its a retarget action with no default implementation provided. Your part
needs to call
part.getView/EditorSite().getActionBars().setGlobalActionHan dler(). The id
to use is IWorkbenchActionConstants.PRINT.

This may work:
actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(IWorkbenchActionConstants. PRINT, new
Action() {
public boolean isEnabled() {
return true;
}
public void run() {
// do your action
}
});
