| [JFace] ToolBarManager and items with text [message #257612] |

I'm trying to create a toolbar that has a display similar to the perspective
toolbar in 3.0. That is, I would like an image on the left and text on the
right. I was able to accomplish this easliy with a ToolBar by using the
SWT.RIGHT. Now I'm using a ToolBarManager to handle my actions and laying
out my ToolBar and its not working.
I've tried creating the ToolBar (with the SWT.RIGHT style) and then creating
my ToolBarManager with it. I've also tried creating my ToolBarManager with
the SWT.RIGHT style and then letting it create the ToolBar
(createControl()). Either way, the ToolBar only ever has the images and
never the text.
Am I doing something incorrectly. Is this not supported by the
ToolBarManager? I would assume the ToolBarManager should respect whatever
style settings you used to create the Toolbar, so is it a bug?
regards,
-Chris
p.s. 3.0 rocks!

Hi again,
found a better way:
Instead of adding an action to to toolbarmanager like
toolbarmanager.add(new AddCustomerAction());
use this way:
ActionContributionItem addCustItem
= new ActionContributionItem(new AddCustomerAction());
addCustItem.setMode(ActionContributionItem.MODE_FORCE_TEXT);
toolbarmanager.add(addCustItem);
Or even better:
Subclass the toolbarmanager and override the add(IAction) method, to
force showing text for every added action:
public class IconWithTextToolBarManager extends ToolBarManager {
public IconWithTextToolBarManager() {
super();
}
public IconWithTextToolBarManager(int style) {
super(style);
}
public IconWithTextToolBarManager(ToolBar toolbar) {
super(toolbar);
}
public void add(IAction action) {
ActionContributionItem contributionItem
= new ActionContributionItem(action);
contributionItem.setMode(
ActionContributionItem.MODE_FORCE_TEXT);
add(contributionItem);
}
}
Greetings,
Florian
