Hello,

I want to know the location of the mouse in a certain moment, relative to the FigureCanvas. I know I can get the mouse location relative to the Display, throught Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation(), but I want to convert this coordinates relative to the Diagram.

Anybody knows how to do it?

Thanks a lot,
Marc

Hello,
Here is a "hack" :

Tool tool = selectedTargetEditPart.getViewer().getEditDomain().getActiveTool();
AbstractTool aTool = (AbstractTool) tool;
Method m = AbstractTool.class.getDeclaredMethod("getLocation");
m.setAccessible(true);
Point toolLocation = ((org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Point) m.invoke(aTool)).getCopy();
