You're right, I did take a look at the API docs. It's beyond me why I didn't see it for myself. lol Note to self, plan a visit to the optician.

GridData.CENTER is just a deprecated alternative for SWT.CENTER. If the toolbar is filled by contribution items at createControl time this should not be any different from a statically filled toolbar. If it is filled dynamically it's still not a big deal: just call layout() on the parent element after you altered the toolbar items to re-align the control. The constructor does exist, I use it all the time: GridData API docs. GridData.CENTER is just a deprecated alternative for SWT.CENTER.

But GridData.CENTER does. I'll have to try if it works. I'm not sure, but I do think I tried it with this. I didn't mention that the control that has to be centered is a toolbar filled with actions by contribution items. It does complicate things a bit. ;) Well, that constructor does not exist.
