Hi,
I have a problem with the visibility of coolbars in an rcp-project. I
have several toolbars inside the main coolbar, for which I want to
implement a functionality to hide/unhide them (quite similar to the
standard eclipse functionality window -> customize perspective). I use
the extension org.eclipse.ui.menu to add a number of toolbars to the
default one:
<menuContribution locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
<toolbar id="com.dcx.ivkmds.application.rcs.toolbar.edit">
...
</toolbar>
<toolbar id=...
...
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
I tried several approaches to set the visibility of each single toolbar,
but none of them seems to work properly.
First, I tried to set the visibility programatically:
ApplicationWindow window = (ApplicationWindow)
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
ICoolBarManager coolbarManager = window.getCoolBarManager2();
coolbarManager.getItems() returns the correct list of ContributionItems,
but calling setVisible() on any of them doesn't change anything.
My second approach was a property tester. Though I can't seem to hide
the toolbar itself, I can hide its commands. But when I try to change
the visibility back to true, again nothing happens (as far as I know the
property tester only reacts on events, when I set the focus on another
window and back to the application, the toolbar is shown again).
I would appreciate any help, I'm quite desperate and I don't want to
change it all back to actionSets, although this might be working.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Robert

Thanks Paul, hiding the items the toolbar contains just worked. Though I
have no idea, why it didn't before. However, this solution should be
sufficient.
