buttons on the same tool bar.

I Found out it can be used in the menu bar but the help file does not have
anything on toolbars(or i just haven't seen it)

If anyone has used such a feature can you please let me know how it can be
used.

thanks

Hi,

You can put the buttons into seperate groups. Then they will get separated. Here
is the relevant part of the actionSets extionsion point description:

toolbarPath - a slash-delimited path ('/') that is used to specify the location
of this action in the toolbar. The first token represents the toolbar identifier
(with "Normal" being the default toolbar), while the second token is the named
group within the toolbar that this action will be added to. If the group does
not exist in the toolbar, it will be created. If toolbarPath is omitted, the
action will not appear in the toolbar.

Hope this helps,

Michal Tkacz
