JFace - Change font color in ToolBarManager

Question

I have an application using a ToolBarManager and I need to change the font color of a button.

ICoolBarManager coolBar = ...
IToolBarManager toolBar = new ToolBarManager(coolBar.getStyle());

MyAction myAction = new MyAction();
myAction.setText("I need this text in other color"); //this is my button's description at the toolbar

toolBar.add(myAction);
coolBar.add(new ToolBarContributionItem(toolBar, "msg"));

I can't find a way to setStyle or setFont or something else.

How can I change the text color in a toolbar button?

Answer 1

ToolBarManager has a getControl() method which returns you the underlying SWT ToolBar control (note this method is only in ToolBarManager not the IToolBarManager interface).

ToolBar has the usual SWT setForeground , setBackground , setFont methods.

Note: depending on how the ToolBarManager is constructed the ToolBar may not be created until ToolBarManager.createControl is called.
