Hi all,

I want to display the position of a ruler's guide when it is selected or
dragged. Is it possible to change the guide selection and drag edit policies
to provide such a feature?

Thank you,

Alain

Where do you want to display it? Status bar? Or in a pop-up near the guide
being dragged? Or some other way?

Yes in the status bar. I need this feature because it's quite difficult to
set a guide to a wanted position without knowing exactly what its current
position is.

I have already added a RulerChangeListener which displays in the status bar
the position where a guide has been created and where a guide has been moved
but I have not found any listener to a dragging event.

I think I have to deal with the selection edit policy of the GuideEditParts
but I don't know how to do.

Thanks

There's a workaround to make this work with the current implementation.
When the guide is being dragged, it will keep invoking getMoveGuideCommand()
in the RulerProvider. You can update the status bar with the given position
there.

Please open a feature request. It will be a low priority though, and we
can't guarantee getting to it before the 3.l release. However, if you make
the necessary changes yourself and submit a patch, we'll certainly consider
it for 3.1.

Thank you very much. It works fine.
Now I can update the status bar when a guide is created, deleted or moved.

A last question: do you know how can I get the position of a guide when it
just has been selected in the ruler before any move?

Thanks
