How can I add a JSeparator to the main toolbar?
It’s easy to add a separator to the menus by editing the module’s layer file; in fact, the Action wizard will do this for you. Items in the main toolbar are also configured through the layer file, but you may find that adding a separator as you would for the menu does not work in the toolbar. So how do you add a separator to the toolbar?
You can do this by creating a class like:
package com.example.util.widgets;
public class VerticalSeparator extends JSeparator {
public VerticalSeparator() {
super(JSeparator.VERTICAL);
}
@Override
public Dimension getMaximumSize() {
return new Dimension(getPreferredSize().width, super.getMaximumSize().height);
}
@Override
public Dimension getSize() {
return new Dimension(getPreferredSize().width, super.getSize().height);
}
}
Then simply reference an instance of this separator in the layer file:
<file name="SeparatorAfterModelToolbarActions.instance">
<attr name="instanceClass" stringvalue="com.example.util.widgets.VerticalSeparator"/>
<attr name="position" intvalue="25"/>
</file>
