Hello all,
I need a "set priority" and a "set color" action in my application, since
there is an outline view, I think the first one should be retargetable, and
the other be regular action.
Now the problem, I create "set color" action in editor's createActions(),
but I can't get it in ActionBarContributor through getAction(), seems
createActions() is not called yet.
Where should I create this action? Should this type of action retargetable
or regular?
Wishes
Hao

Depends on how you use the action. For instance, alignment action may
have a button, a menuitem, and may appear in the context menu. Thats 3
different retarget actions that will fire up the one action.
For actions that are not retargetable like say, 'new project wizard' you
dont need a retarget action. Such an action does not care about the
current selection.
Yes do use ActionBarContributor. If it changes it probably won't be
hard to adapt to the new one.

You can put the same action instance (of a retarget action or not) in
multiple places.
If where you are putting the action is shared across editor instances
(menubar, toolbar, or statusbar), you can either
1) use a retarget action like we do, and have the action in the editor.
2) Use a "smart" action which sends some magic event ID to the active
editor. The editor then implements some interface to receive this
doSomething(ID) call.
If you are putting the action on a contextmenu inside the editor, no
retarget action is needed.
