How to remove the icon which has been set for UI Element associated with command? [message #661804]

I want to to remove the icon which has been set for UI Element associated with command.

I tried:-
In the method updateElement (UIElement element, Map parameters)
element.setIcon(null);
It didn't worked (it only sets the icon based on image descriptor). Dummy fix would be re-setting the invisible icon which is not recommended.

We have situation that based on some event icon has to be set and on another event icon has to be removed. Is there a way to remove the icon which has been set for UI Element associated with command ?

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Santosh

CommandContributionItem does sets null to the menu/tool item when null
is passed. If you have a snippet to reproduce the behaviour, please open
a bug: http://bit.ly/NewBugInPlatformUI

Hi Prakash,

I tried setting null in setIcon method. However, on passing null parameter the entire command is becoming invisible (command will be removed from the toolbar).

I just want to remove the icon from the command and text should be retained and command should work as it used to.
