View Toolbar: How to set an action as "toggle Button" [message #293545]

Hi everybody,

i want to make an Action as "Toggle Button" within my view Toolbar (in the
same way as in the Eclipse Outline view for the Java IDE, where one can
toggle that fields are hided).

IŽve had a look at the API for Action, but havenŽt found anything.

Could anybody point me towards how to set this behaviour?
At the moment i have a simple "click" Action....

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Check out the action "state" attribute ... in the extension editor.

Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for your answer.

I found out that with

...
myAction.setChecked(false);
...

You set a checkbox behavour towards the action, as i only have one Button
this is either "pushed" or "not pushed".

One can check the "mode" the button is currently in through

...
myAction.isChecked();
...

and then respond accordingly.

Thanks for your answer.

Greetings
Andreas
