Predefined action not showing icon on toolbar.

[sstarr]

In design mode, when I add a predefined action to a toolbar, I see text instead of an icon. I'm working on the toolbar of a view. When "action" is added to the toolbar I see an Icon, when "action_1" is added I see text. Is it possible for predefined actions to show icons instead of text on toolbars in design mode?

Code: Select all

action = new Action("My Action") {
         public void run() {
         }
      };
action.setImageDescriptor(ResourceManager.getPluginImageDescriptor(RCPDeveloperProjPlugin.getDefault(), "icons/alt_window_16.gif"));

action_1 = new TestingAction("Test Action");
action_1.setImageDescriptor(ResourceManager.getPluginImageDescriptor(RCPDeveloperProjPlugin.getDefault(), "icons/alt_window_16.gif"));

Code: Select all

public class TestingAction extends Action {

   public TestingAction(String text) {
      super(text);
   }

   public void run() {
      super.run();
   }
}

Give this a try in the latest v6.4.1 Designer build.
