Databinding on view part action, toolbar items andmenu items

[hyshyshys]

Hi,

Is it possible to add databinding on view part action, toolbar items or menu items? If yes, how?

When I go to the databinding dialog, I see in the target (widgets) navigation window all my actions, toolbar items and menu items, but there is no property available for each of them. So I'm not able to complete the assignations with my source model...

Any clues?

Regards and thank
Vincent

The Eclipse DB API does not support direct binding to those types of elements. You can try binding to them as generic beans however.

Those items do not have any bindable widget properties. If you switch to the Target (Beans) list, you can select them and any bean properties they have.

Thank Eric, It works.

Note that you should set the target update strategy to POLICY_NEVER because the DB API is not able to attach listener on the action bean.

That is also true for any bean that does not support having a listener attached.
