How do I hide and show toolbars the way the debugger does?
To hide/show a toolbar dynamically in the NetBeans Platform, you should predefine a toolbar configuration first, then activate it.
-
Define toolbar configuration files alongside the module’s layer:
Standard.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configuration PUBLIC "-//NetBeans IDE//DTD toolbar//EN"
"http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/toolbar.dtd">
<Configuration>
<Row>
<Toolbar name="View" />
<Toolbar name="Control" />
<Toolbar name="Indicator" />
<Toolbar name="Draw" />
<Toolbar name="Memory" />
</Row>
<Row>
<Toolbar name="File" position="2" visible="false" />
<Toolbar name="Edit" position="2" visible="false" />
<Toolbar name="Build" position="2" visible="false" />
<Toolbar name="Debug" position="2" visible="false" />
<Toolbar name="Versioning" position="2" visible="false" />
</Row>
</Configuration>
Developing.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configuration PUBLIC "-//NetBeans IDE//DTD toolbar//EN"
"http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/toolbar.dtd">
<Configuration>
<Row>
<Toolbar name="View" />
<Toolbar name="Control" />
<Toolbar name="Indicator" />
<Toolbar name="Draw" />
<Toolbar name="Memory" />
</Row>
<Row>
<Toolbar name="File" position="2" />
<Toolbar name="Edit" position="2" />
<Toolbar name="Build" position="2" />
<Toolbar name="Debug" position="2" visible="false" />
<Toolbar name="Versioning" position="2" visible="false" />
</Row>
</Configuration>
-
Register the configuration files in
layer.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE filesystem PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Filesystem 1.0//EN"
"http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/filesystem-1_0.dtd">
<filesystem>
<folder name="Toolbars">
<file name="Standard.xml" url="Standard.xml"/>
<file name="Developing.xml" url="Developing.xml"/>
</folder>
</filesystem>
-
At runtime, set the toolbar configuration that you want:
ToolbarPool.getDefault().setConfiguration("Developing");
