Hi all,

I've added a custom control to workbench's coolbar in
ActionBarAdvisor#fillCoolBar.

How do I update the control (change a label's text) from within
arbitrary code? There seems no way to access the workbench's CoolBarManager.

Thanks in advance

You would have to hook up your view (control) with your model (whatever determines its label).

We don't support trying to find things in the main menu or main toolbar/coolbar.

This is odd, as there is a method ICoolBarManager#find(id) but I just
can't access the manager.

Anyway: I try to store a global reference somewhere to that specific
ControlContribution and use that for updating it.
