Toolbars

Views may specify the contents of a toolbar through a toolbar property in their bundle definition. This should appear as the structure one would provide to the mct-toolbar directive, except additional properties are recognized to support the mediation between toolbar contents, user interaction, and the current selection (as read from the selection property of the view's scope.) These additional properties are:

• property: Name of the property within a selected object. If, for any given object in the selection, that field is a function, then that function is assumed to be an accessor-mutator function (that is, it will be called with no arguments to get, and with an argument to set.)
• inclusive: Optional; true if this control should be considered applicable whenever at least one element in the selection has the associated property. Otherwise, all members of the current selection must have this property for the control to be shown.

Controls in the toolbar are shown based on applicability to the current selection. Applicability for a given member of the selection is determined by the presence of absence of the named property field. As a consequence of this, if undefined is a valid value for that property, an accessor-mutator function must be used. Likewise, if toolbar properties are meant to be view-global (as opposed to per-selection) then the view must include some object to act as its proxy in the current selection (in addition to whatever objects the user will conceive of as part of the current selection), typically with inclusive set to true.
