Add option to toolwindow title

Created October 26, 2015 08:45

Hi there,

i am looking for a way to add additional options to the title bar of a toolwindow (so that more options will be displayed next to the default options dropdown (gearwheel icon) and "hide" option).

thank you in advance for any hints.

Thank you Yann, it worked just as i wished. :)

If someone else is searching for how to do this:
inside the createToolWindowContent method of my ToolWindowFactory, i added:

ActionManager actionManager = ActionManager.getInstance();
((ToolWindowEx) toolWindow).setTitleActions(actionManager.getAction("MyAction"));
