how to get current cursor location relative to current editor [message #463341]

I need to get the current cursor location relative within the current
editor. I can get the absolute cursor location from
Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation() . Can I use this somehow or is
there somewhere else I should look? Thanks.

Yes you can use that one,

However, the location you will get is absolute and not relative to the
current active control.

If you need the position relative to your control you can use the
following:

Point absolutePosition = Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation();
Point relativePosition = yourControl.toControl(absolutePosition);
