Making a section look like PDE editor section [message #332252]

I'm trying to add an action to a form section as in the PDE. I can add them to the form title bar and they look good. When I add
them to a form section they have a cutout in the background and don't have the roll over effect. This was done using the
ImageHyperLink widget added to a composite which was set as the sections textClient.

Can any one provide a quick example of how this is done?

Regards

It's done with a ToolBarManager, a ToolBar, and Actions. See
org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.editor.feature.RequiresSection.c reateSectionToolbar(Section,
FormToolkit) for an example from the PDE manifest/plugin.xml editor.

Hope this helps,
Eric
