[Java-gnome-developer] non-button widgets in toolbars

[Mark H. <mh...@de...>]

Hi,
  I have a gnome toolbar created using gnome UIInfos. At the moment,
there seems to be only support for adding buttons to the toolbar. Is it
possible to add labels, entries and other widgets to gnome toolbars?
Does anybody here know how? Perhaps you could send a reference to some
gnome code which does this.

I am not sure if it is possible to do this with UIInfo.
You might try to create the toobar yourself and add it
with App.setToolBar(ToolBar).

Still trying to figure it out...

Not many gnome apps use gtk toolbars - gul, bonobo, all sorts of others.

It's a shame there isn't a app.getToolbar method, like there is a
getMenuBar().

My tests doing your suggestion don't work - there is just an empty
toobar (I populated it with some simple buttons) (using gnome
App.setToolbar()).

Also, the TestGtk example crashes when clicking the toolbar example.

Has anybody managed to get a ToolBar to work?

Calling mytoolbar.showAll() fixed this one. doh.
Unfortunately, it no longer takes note of the gnome setting for
displaying just icons. There isn't a toolbarButton widget either;
buttons look very strange. Guess I'll have to keep looking for somebody
with more gtk knowledge to fix this one. Can anybody here help?

This example passes null for some strings, causing the crash. pssing
nulls will often fail in java-gnome at the moment. We should probably
overload the method in thei case, with the help tip omitted.
