Hy all,
I currently try to create an action
with a drop down list. My problem is
that for the button I need a "toggle"
and not a "push" behaviour.
So if I add the action with an actionset,
I can set the style either to "toggle" or
to "pulldown", but not to both. My first
idea was to split the action into two
separate ones. While the toggle button is
an easy one, the dropdown menu gives
me headache. If I use a ContributionItem
I can easily imlpement it, but cannot
place it next to my toggle button and if
I use the "pulldown" style of a normal
action I have the normal "push" button which
I do not need.
Any ideas?
Regards,
torsten

I'm afraid this just isn't really supported. Look at
ToolItem.createHandle(int) or the ToolItem class javadoc. Even if SWT
supported it, actionSets don't support it either. Which means you are
doubly screwed.
In 3.2, this might end up being possible by putting a custom widget into the
tool bar. But, that's not going to help you now. :(
sorry,
d.
