Class cast from ISelection to IStructuredSelection in IObjectActionDelegate.selectionChanged() [message #451452]

Hello,

When contributing to a popup menu extension point with an object
contribution, method IObjectActionDelegate.selectionChanged(IAction
action, ISelection selection) is called every time the user selects or
deselects an item in the visible part.

My question is how to identify the item on which the popup menu was
invoked. I know that in case of a tree, I can do a class cast from
ISelection to IStructuredSelection and get it from there.
The point is I cannot find any documentation that this class cast is
valid. Can someone point me to the right place in the documentation?

Thanks

Christoph

You will get a better response to questions about the UI platform (such as
Actions) in the eclipse.platform newsgroup:
