All,
I have a "Copy" menu item and i used setGlobalActionHandler api to register
my action for the
same. This works fine for the menu items. I need the same to work for tool
bar icons.
I assumed that, copy/paste/cut tool bar icons will be provided by default
and the
programmers needs to register their actions, so that based on the editor,
relevant actions will be fired.
I searched the eclipse documentations, and concluded that
setGlobalActionHandler api is with respect
to MENU ITEMS, what should we do for tool bar buttons.??
Does eclipse provides api's similar to setGlobalActionHandler api for
registering the actions related
to tool bar buttons.
Could anyone help me in this regard?
Also you can mail the replies to vamirthalingam@selectica.com
Regards,
venkat

What documentation did you consult?
http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/html/plugins/org.eclips e.platform.doc.i
sv/doc/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/IActionBars.html
states this:
Used by a part to access its menu, toolbar, and status line managers.
Within the workbench each part, editor or view, has a private set of action
bars. This set, which contains a menu, toolbar, and status line, appears in
the local toolbar for a view and in the window for an editor. The view may
provide an implementation for pre-existing actions or add new actions to the
action bars.
In a workbench window there a number of actions which are applicable to all
parts. Some common examples are CUT, COPY and PASTE. These actions, known as
"global actions", are contributed to the workbench window by the window
itself and shared by all parts. The presentation is owned by the window. The
implementation is delegated to the active part.
To participate in the global action design an IWorkbenchPart should register
a handler for each global action which is implemented by the part. This can
be done by calling setGlobalActionHandler. For convenience, the standard
global actions are defined in org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchActionConstants.

Already , i read this documentation and my question is simple,
setGlobalActionHandler api
is with respect to menu items only, what should we do for tool bar buttons?
Hope you got my question.
When is used JDT, i couldn't see copy,cut,paste icons in the tool bar. Why
is it so? Does eclipse provide
global tool bar buttons for copy,paste,cut, etc...?

So, what should we do, if we need the same action to be registered for tool
bar buttons?
Another Question: As per your answer, if there are different editors, having
their own actions
for copy/cut/paste, the menu item will be common, but tool bar buttons can
differ. Is this the
understanding?

The code for setGlobalActionHandler is not menu specific, it works for tool
bar also. The eclipse ide just does not add the cut/copy/paste retarget
actions to the tool bar. You could provide an action set that added these
retarget actions. Just need to make sure the "actionDefinitionId" matches
the one used for the menu items (i.e. org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy for the copy
retarget action, etc)
This whole story will become much easier to understand and use with the new
"command" work that is going on.

Simon,
Instead, can i override getImageDescriptor method in Action class? This way,
i need not create
a retarget actions, and still i can get the tool bar button placed in the
tool bar.
Please clarify this.

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean. How can overriding
getImageDescriptor() solve your problem of having the cut/copy/paste actions

Simon,
I have a class
MyCopyAction extends Action
{
public void run()
{
//Implement the necessary logic
}
public ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor()
{
//Return the tool bar icon for copy
}
}
And in setGlobalActionHandler(), i register the above action class, so that
the above run() method is
invoked, if our editor is active. Since i had overriden the
getImageDescriptor(), i get the icon for copy in
the tool bar (if our editor is active), and the same run() method gets
invoked, if i click on the copy icon.
Am i clear now?
Could you please clarify my earlier question?

If I understand correctly, your editor is contributing the MyCopyAction to
the toolbar. And also registering it using setGlobalActionHandler to hook
the Edit>Copy menu item. Right? If so, that is an acceptable solution.
Instead of overriding getImageDescriptor, why not call setImageDescriptor
instead?

Simon,
I found an elegant way to solve this.
Instead of using get/set ImageDescriptor, i modified the MyCopyAction class
as:
MyCopyAction extends Action implements IEditorActionDelegate
{
public void run()
{
//Implementation of run
}
public void setActiveEditor(IAction action, IEditorPart targetEditor)
{ }
public void run(IAction action)
{
run() ;
}
public void selectionChanged(IAction action, ISelection selection) { }
}
In this way, i registered the above action class in setGlobalActionHandler
as well as in
plugin.xml
Hope this is the simplest way :)
Please let me know your comments
Regards,
venkat
