Hi,
I am creating a StyledText control and was wondering is there a generic
context menu for this control like there is for the Text control (Undo,
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete and SelectAll)??... Currently I am providing my
own context menu but I think I should re-use a generic one if there is one
as all I want to do are the standard operations and so want the StyledText
to behave exactky like the Text control in that respect!
Also I was wondering how the generic context menu for the Text control is
implemented as I was trying to debug and could not find out where the
actions in the generic context menu for the text control are implemented.
Cheers - Saurabh

Thanks for the quick response Henning. And your suggestion to look into
TextViewer.canDoOperation(int) and TextViewer.doOperation(int) helped me
re-implement my context menu in a better way :).
But the question that I wanted to ask was why there is no "out-of-the-box"
context menu for StyledText as there is for the Text widget. And if this
was the intended design that what was the reasoning behind not providing
for an "out-of-the-box" context menu for StyledText??
Futhermore I was wondering how is the "out-of-the-box" context menu for
the Text widget implemented??
