Hi,
I have to create Action dynamically while my RCP App is running.
In these Actions I need to know the path of the file associated with the
currently active Editor.

I thought I can let the Actions implement IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate
and react on the SelectionChanged-Method to find out what the file path is.

But.... if the Action is not added trough an extension point (which is
not possible in my situation) its selectionChanged-Method will not be
triggered.
Delivering the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor and registring ist there does
not help.

Any ideas how i can get the harddisk-path of the file associated with
the currently active Editor...from an dynamic (not in the
ApplicationActionBarAdvisor) created Action.

Many thanks
