Programmatically activating a trim item [message #901690]

Hi there. I have a trim item that I'd like to activate when a specific action event is fired but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to activate it.

I've looked around and saw that I could use the IMenuService interface to activate it but it just confused me.

I've included the plugin xml schema to help out (slightly modified)...

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.command1">
         <toolbar
               id="name">
            <dynamic
                  class="name.popup"
                  id="name">
            </dynamic>
         </toolbar>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Found my answer... you can't. Found out we have an existing solution whereby when first registered we have our own class that keeps track of contribution items.
