Using commands inside a form [message #545002]

Hello,

Can I programmatically place toolbars inside an editor (or view) to which I can contribute commands? (Just like I can register popup menu's for controls by using getSite().registerContextMenu(...)).

I have one form editor with multiple TableViewers that are in Sections. In the top right corner of the section title bar I made new/add buttons (with SWT designer) which should invoke a command when pressed.

I already know I can do this programmatically by adding a selection listener and using the handler service. But this way some functionality is bypassed such as enabled/disabled through activeWhen and other plugins cannot contribute.

If you use a ToolBarManager you can call
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.populateContributionManage r(ContributionManager,
String) with an ID like toolbar:my.view.id.section1 ... then commands
can be contributed to your toolbar from the plugin.xml.
