DevFaqHideShowToolbar
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.
1. 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>
2. 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>
3. At runtime, set the toolbar configuration that you want:
ToolbarPool.getDefault().setConfiguration("Developing");
