Did you find the answer to this question? How you ensure that the command toggle is per instance of the view?

Prakash,
I want to remove the action sets defined in plugin.xml programatically while opening a perspective/view. I have tried various options like defining an ActionBarAdvisor, calling it in IStartUp class (earlyStartUp() method), using ActionBarRegistry to unregister an entry. But none of these options are working for me.

Please help...

When I have multiple instances of the same view, the toggle state seems to be shared among view instances. Is there a way to toggle the button on only one view?

Thanks,

Hi Prakash

I like to activate a context based on the type of the object.
Can i do it via .xml ? How can i achieve this ?

I have seen examples in plugin.xml where you run the PropertyTester and based on menu items get enabled disabled. I want soemthign similar for context purpose.

Thanks..

No. With commands there is nothing like a "local" contribution. At least not in 3.x. You need to switch to e4 for that.

Hi Prakash ,

Thanks for this series of article, I still haven't found a way to reproduce old action behavior like :

- What if I have an editor and a view opened, with both a menu contribution pointing to the same command.
- When I click on the menu in the editor, the menu in the view is updated, which did not occurred when I was using actions.

How can I manage a "local" behavior within my part?

I have an editor Action bar contributor which adds actions to the editor toolbar. I am trying to add my command to the end of the editor action bar without much success !!

2010-11-12T14:53:36.211+05:30

hi,

suppose I have a radio menu as presented above. in addition I have a some random command and it's representation as a toolbar button. is there any way to enable/disable this button (its handler) based on the selected in the radio menu?
I am sure there must be a way to do this via the "enabledWhen" property of the handler, but I can't figure out how to properly reference the state of the radio menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
cheers,
Lena

Best regards friends.
Is there some way to execute command defined in plugin.xml programmatically.
I am not interested in below
handlerService = (IHandlerService ) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IHandlerService.class);

as it does not work with E4 @inject

An exact piece of code shall be highly appreciated.

Thanks very much for the great article! I have 5 commands in a menu contribution that are all marked as radio and configured using a single parameterized command as you explained in your article. However, I'd like to put a separator after the second one. When I do this, the menu items are broken into two radio groups, which is not the behavior I'm looking for.

In other words, when I put the separator in after the second command, if I click the first menu item, then click the 5th menu item, they both end up with a check next to them. The only way to clear the check next to the 5th menu item is to click on the 3rd or 4th menu item.

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I`m trying to have a command related to a preference (it`s defined by me, i want to have control over it from other places) I could manage updating the preference through the handler of the command, but i don`t know how to:
1- Initialize the command state using the preference value
2- Update the state when the preference is modified from other place (like preference page)

Any idea?
Thanks!

@Philipp,
I've replied your query in the newsgroup as well. In essence:

command1's handler.execute(){

//do stuff

HandlerUtil.toggleCommandState(command2);

}

You can use ICommandService.refreshElements() to update all the UI contributions for command2.

2009-12-10T23:20:49.893+05:30

I have implemented a toggle command now myself. However the whole feature is somehow incomplete. What if the toggle should enable/disable another toolbar for instance, or some command. How would one toggle the enablement of commands?
I guess that would be only possible using contexts.

So activating the context is possible, however after the workbench restore somehow one need to be notified about the toggle state and re-activate the context.

Any other ideas how to solve such problems of enable/disable other contributions with the toggle?

2009-08-26T12:24:32.856+05:30

I have a following requirement:
I want a compound toggle button in toolbar which also have a drop down radio selection. For example, look into MS word 'Text highlight color' menu. You can toggle the menu & at the same time you can select a color from the dropdown.
Please tell me is it possible in eclipse?
Thanks.
