Re: [platform-ui-dev] Repositioning the main toolbar to the bottom of the screen

The app's action bar advisor can add actions (or other contribution items) 
to the status line.  But for an in-car touch screen system that may result 
in buttons that are too small.  A standalone view at the bottom of the 
perspective might work.

Let's move the discussion to the eclipse.platform.rcp newsgroup, and we 
can follow up there.

Craig, 

You could contribute your toolbar to the status bar would this work?  In 
3.2 there will be 'real' support for placing various items in the trim for 
the workbench but not now.  Also you could use your own 
WorkbenchWindowAdvisor which can replace the layout of the workbench and 
place your own (status line for example) toolbar at the bottom of the 
window? 

Normally we suggest you put these types of requests on the news groups as 
these mailing lists are for developers on the eclipse ui.

[platform-ui-dev] Repositioning the main toolbar to the bottom of the 
screen








I?m currently developing an Eclipse 3.1.2 RCP touch screen application for 
the South Australia Police?s patrol cars.  I?ve had success developing a 
custom presentation factory and a set of custom widgets, but I?ve got just 
one major outstanding question that I?m having some trouble with. 
I need some sort of fixed toolbar at the bottom of the application at all 
times to allow access to function like ?virtual keyboard? etc.  Is there 
some way of repositioning the main coolbar to appear down at the bottom, 
above the status line?  A sticky-view type of thing might work if only I 
could prevent it from being resized (and if I could find some good 
documentation on sticky views). 
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
