Why does the Action class have methods such as setChecked, setEnabled, etc.
if
calling them has no effect on the GUI widgets that run the action such as
the toolbar item or menu item?

Yes, I understand that.
I am trying to determine WHY actions have those methods (setChecked, etc.)
if they have no effect.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm using IAction-classes as variables in my application and use them for my
menus, buttons, toolbars. If I call IAction.setChecked or IAction.setEnabled
then all menus, buttons and toolbars were updated automatically.

Take a look at
MenuManager.add
ToolbarManager.add
....

Bye Stefan

Thanks Stefan,

Are your actions contributed via "code" or the plugin.xml?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm using actions via code. I created only standalone applications.
