[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] External View

[t.wilhelm@xxxxxx (T. Wilhelm)]

Hey all,

for my application i need a area between the Toolbar and the Page. It is 
something like an Info area. This are should:

- always be visible (also when a view is maximized)
- no other view or something should be able to be placed on or beside it
- should be able to contain SWT Controls like Buttons, Labels... etc..

Is there any way i can do that? First i tried to implement a view, but 
when i maximize another view its dissappears, and i can drop other views 
on or beside it.

I dont use the Cool/Toolbars, so is it possible that i provide my own 
CoolBar? Is there an extension point for that?

Or can i put the Status line at the top of the page ? 
Ok that sound strange, but better have a strange solution than have no 
solution.

Thanks alot for your ideas and help!
