Adding composite above menubar when using PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display, advisor) [message #1008829]

Hi,

I am working on a RAP application which was migrated from an RCP. So, I am using the PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display, advisor) method in my createUI method. I was wondering if there is anyway I could get a composite above the Menubar (Header / Banner) like in the RAP example (http://rap.eclipsesource.com/rapdemo/examples#input).

From the examples code, I see that this is just a composite created in the CreateUI.

I was wondering if there is anyway I could get something similar in my application without changing the call to PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(display, advisor).

Appreciate any help !

Thanks.

While just setting a title on the configurer is definitely an option, this is just a string and cannot have images or links as in the Examples demo.

The RAP Workbench provides a specific API for custom layouts and
styling. See this article in the RAP developer's guide. For an online
example of a workbench with a custom layout, see [2].

Ralf

Sure, it's in the examples folder in the rap repository [1].

The bundle org.eclipse.rap.design.example provides the "business"
example design, the demo itself is in org.eclipse.rap.demo.
