[EXT] programmatically editing a addons toolbar

[fabian <fm...@netempire.de>]

Hi,

I am writing my first UNO/Java extension for ooo 3.3 and are trying to add a dropdown/submenu to my existing toolbar.

I created the toolbar in the Addons.xcu file and are trying now to get a handle to it.
I read about implementing the com.sun.star.frame.XToolbarController interface but don't know how to address my toolbar.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

regards,
Fabian

a ToolbarController is almost impossible to implement with the current API.
Instead, you have to use the so called "complex toolbar controls" feature:

There is a C++ example on the SDK.
