Cannot Get Access to the Main ToolBar [message #1690389]

Hello,

I am trying to listen to user actions on the main toolbar. I thought I should attach a listener to the tool items in the tool bar, but I cannot get access to the main toolbar at all. I tried the following code but it does not seem to work:

WorkbenchWindow workbenchwindow = (WorkbenchWindow) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
toolbarManager = (ToolBarManager) workbenchwindow.getToolBarManager();
ToolBar toolbar = toolbarManager.getControl(); //here toolbar is null
ToolItem [] items = toolbar.getItems(); // and here we have a null pointer exception

Could anyone help me with that? Thanks a lot Razz

Where are you trying to add a listener. Sounds like you are too early.

Not to mention that he is relying on implementation details - if all the
tool-items are connected to a command (and not the old action-sets) the
far better option is to add yourself a command-listener!
