Hello,

I use the following code in a SelectionListener to change the background color of the word currently selected.

sourceViewer.getTextWidget().setStyleRange(new StyleRange(new TextStyle(null, black, grey)));


The problem is that nothing happens and no Exception is thrown. What do I miss here? Is there a other way to do it?

Hi all,

I solved it by adding an Annotation of type org.eclipse.jdt.ui.occurrences to the word where the cursor is placed.
