Hi Lian,

the SelectionModel is registered as an adapter at the individual viewers (if not configured differently). Therefore, you can access it as follows: contentViewer.getAdapter(SelectionModel.class)

The SelectionModel maintains an ObservableList of selected ContentParts: selectionModel.getSelection()

You can register a ChangeListener there. However, you might need to postpone handling of such changes using Platform.runLater() so that certain reactions are already finished when you process it (depends on use case).

The codebase contains an example, e.g. in SelectionBehavior (which constructs/destructs feedback and handle parts for the selection):

- Accessing the SelectionModel: https://github.com/eclipse/gef/blob/bdade88d6620b4958f50aa7c3a632ebb256277db/org.eclipse.gef.mvc.fx/src/org/eclipse/gef/mvc/fx/behaviors/SelectionBehavior.java#L130
- Adding a listener: https://github.com/eclipse/gef/blob/bdade88d6620b4958f50aa7c3a632ebb256277db/org.eclipse.gef.mvc.fx/src/org/eclipse/gef/mvc/fx/behaviors/SelectionBehavior.java#L91

Best regards,
Matthias
