Description Kevin Cornell CLA 2002-11-20 13:44:20 EST 
In org.eclipse.ui.editorActions, an action for the toolbar should be able to 
use a combo box control.

Is this the same as bug 22642?
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2005-10-19 09:22:52 EDT 
Not exactly.  This one is for combo contributions from an editor, or
editorActions extension, bug 22642 is about action sets.  But it would make
sense to address both at the same time.  I've added a cross-link.

We have an editor that lets the user change the font of selected text and we would really like to use a combobox to show the fonts available.  SWT has supported a combobox in the toolbar for quite some time now.  Is there any plan to support comboboxes in actions?    As an aside, since Duong is now on the SWT team, should this bug be re-assigned to someone on the Workbench team?
Comment 5 Paul Webster CLA 2007-02-02 18:54:51 EST 
Yes, the new menu contribution API in 3.3 should support adding combo boxes to any toolbar.  There are examples on http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Menu_Item_Placement_Examples although we actually just changed the <widget/> story to <control/> ... we'll be updating the wiki just after M5.

We haven't re-assign Duong's bugs yet to delay the resulting spam, but Tod and I split up the areas and are monitoring them :-)

This has been fixed and/or superceded by the menu contribution work - bug 154130
