Add a button (button-menu) to the GMF toolbar [message #1125188]

What is the path that I have to follow in order to have a functional button on the GMF toolbar?
More details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18985646/gmf-add-a-button-to-its-toolbar
until now I managed to make a button to appear there by modifying in XXXDiagramActionBarContributor (XXX any name) the public void init(IActionBars bars, IWorkbenchPage page) {} method. More exactly by adding an action to the (IToolBarManager) toolBarManager.
But now I don't get where to handle the button if it's clicked or not...
Thanks in advance!

I found something helpful in this pdf: http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/ip/resources/GEF/GEF_Tutorial_2up.pdf --- at least something in the right direction Wink

PS: chapter 9 especially

Hi,

the pop up toolbar is created by a PopupBarEditPolicy installed into your editparts. I managed to customize this menu by overriding fillPopupBarDescriptors(). This allows you to add your own buttons. Just call the addPopupBarDescriptor method from this method. For the elementtype you can provide null.
