Description Xavier Méhaut CLA 2005-01-26 04:59:14 EST
Hello,
It would be fine to be able to use actions bar or such things into the wizard
pages to benefit of the Action features...
regards
Xavier

How would this work?  I'm not sure I can visualize this.
Comment 2 Xavier Méhaut CLA 2005-01-27 03:28:53 EST
Hello,
Certainly the actions bar should differ from the one we could have into a view ,
editor or Workbench because we have different kind of wizard (statefull or
stateless), and so on...
The simplest way should be to enable the user to add his actions bar wherever he
wants in the wizard page. We should then have maybe another JFace component
called  simply ActionBar with register Actions... The actions could be define
into the plugin.xml file as normally. 
regards
Xavier

If you want to reuse your setup in different place you could always use a 
MenuManager and implement the fill methods for the different places you want 
to use it thereby reusing your actions.

Are you suggesting allowing the user to drag an arbitrary action bar to an 
arbitrary wizard? I can't see this being useful as most actions require more 
context.

If you are talking about reusing your actions you can just use my suggestion 
above.

No,no, I talk about the MenuManager solution, or such solution...but not
necessary reuse actions , but havinf specific actions for the wizard page,
actions which could be defined also in the plugin.xml file as
eclipse.ui.wizardAction (like the one we have in eclipse.ui.viewAction... We
also could define in the plugin.xml file the other wizard (and wizard page)
other then the newWizard extension;;;

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
