All widgets have the setData method available on it. So it would be possible to set this value on MenuItems and ToolItems.
You are correct about setting widget IDs for contributions in eclipse. The MenuManager and other ContributionItems contain #fill() methods that are invoked on them. You could do something there, if need be. Asking this question on the eclipse.platform.rcp newsgroup may get you a better answer. -- Ketan On 23-Oct-08, at 4:43 PM, Hans Schwaebli wrote: > How can the IDs for the buttons on a toolbar be set and for the Menu > widgets? > > In the application there are toolbar and menubar managers on which > actions are added.
