Hi,

i'd like to programmatically add IContributionItems to a ViewParts Toolbar.
And let them be dynamic, i.e. show them or not.
Any way/idea to achieve that behavior is appreciated.

1) I tried with setVisible(y/n) which causes 'empty space' in the toolbar - not so nice.
2) I tried to add / remove, prepend / append, prependToGroup / appendToGroup, but unfortunately it's not possible to create a item _before_ (left side of) another IContributionItem that is always there
3) I didn't try setWidth = 0 due to missing layout manager

-> only way i can achieve it is 1) or create on the right side of other item.

Any good ideas on that are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
