Eclipse 4 RCP Part toolbar location [message #1779433]

Hi guys,

In the process of converting an eclipse 3 application to a pure e4 one. In the old eclipse application we would programmatically add items to the views' toolbar by doing:

IActionBars actionBars = getViewSite().getActionBars();
IToolBarManager toolBar = actionBars.getToolBarManager();
toolBar.add(action);

This would add toolbar items next to the minimise and maximise buttons.

However if I use the application model and give a part a toolbar and a handled toolitem, it does not get displayed next to the minimise and maximise buttons. Instead it creates a strip across the top of the view, below the minimise and maximise buttons.

How do I go about placing the the tool bar items next to the minimise and maximise buttons? Within the eclipse IDE they are still doing this on many views, such as the code outline view and package explorer view.

Many Thanks

This is normal when it does not have enough space to display the toolbar. If you expand the part and give the toolbar more space, it should move to the top row.

If this does not help, can you post a screenshot?

Cheers, Wernke
