Re: Re: [platform-ui-dev] Accessibility of Workbench toolbar

Ajay,

There is no way to set the icon of an action set (or actions within the 
action set) programmatically before it is run.
After it is run, you can use setImage on the IAction instance passed to 
IActionDelegate.run or selectionChanged.
Note that changing the icon dynamically is not recommended though.  Users 
expect the icon for a particular action to stay the same (except for 
enablement / disablement / hover of course).

Hi,
thanx for the response.
Taking into consideration wat u suggested.. would it be possible 
to change the gif associated with it programatically. i.e by 
default the gif associated with it is declared in the plugin.xml. 
Is it possible to change that gif/icon programatically.
thanx
Ajay
