Glamour action list without the dropdown?

Hi Doru, all,

in AM I have a Glamour pane that is an actionList where I do  5 populate:on:entitled:with: so that the pane has 5 buttons. Now what happens is that the pane also has a dropdown menu, with the same actions as the buttons. This is a bit silly (see screenshot). Is there a way to have the actionList not have this popup menu?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Johan,

Thanks for reporting. This is a bug. Please open a bug entry.

However, if you ask me, with the new toolbar implementation I do not see a reason for having the action list anymore.

Cheers,
Doru

Yes, the new toolbar is cool, and I am very happily using it! But I dont agree with you. Toolbar buttons are not normal buttons. Take for example the screenshot below, showing the AspectMaps 'control panel'. I would not want to change the buttons in 'structural zoom' for toolbar buttons...

Why not? :)

Regarding the toolbar, I see that in your case it appears on top of the tab. This probably means that you defined it like:

a
        act: ...
a tree
        ....

If you define the act in the tree, you should get it below the tab.

For me:
- Conceptually, a toolbar acts on the model shown by the container it is adorning (explicitly or implicitly). A button just does something, it can be anything.
- I would like to add a slider to that pane, which is not something you see in toolbars
- Implementation-wise I do not know how to make toolbar buttons with text
- It just looks good this way :-) Maybe I can replace the content of that pane with a vertical toolbar, that can hold buttons and other things. But then again, it's not really a toolbar anymore is it?

Right, I did not think of that, it looks much better now, thanks!
