I created my own editor and Extended the TextEditor.
When I open a file with the TextEditor I have the option to switch to Block selection mode. But the functionality is missing when using my own editor. I guess I have to add the command in my plugin.xml somehow.
I am currently searching within the eclipse-code to finde where they add the Menu to the toolbar. But can't find it.
Any suggestions?

This is declared in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor plugin.
The command id for the toggle block selection command is org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.toggleBlockSelectionMode
The action is defined using the old style org.eclipse.ui.actionSets extension point:
<action
allowLabelUpdate="true"
definitionId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.toggleBlockSelectionMode"
disabledIcon="$nl$/icons/full/dtool16/block_selection_mode.gif"
helpContextId="org.eclipse.ui.block_selection_mode_action_context"
icon="$nl$/icons/full/etool16/block_selection_mode.gif"
id="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.toggleBlockSelectionMode"
label="%toggleBlockSelectionMode.label"
retarget="true"
style="toggle"
toolbarPath="Normal/Presentation"
tooltip="%toggleBlockSelectionMode.tooltip">
</action>
The action id in the text editor is ITextEditorActionConstants.BLOCK_SELECTION_MODE. The action is created in org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor in the createActions method.

for how to add the "Block Selection" button into your eclipse toolbar :
goto Window--Customize prespective--- in new came out window, goto table "Command group avaiable" , select " editor presentation " then goto table "Tool Bar visiability", select " editor presentation " click OK button.
