Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to get the point (org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point)
position of the Caret within the editor.
I want to show a popup menu at the caret position within a editor.

Thanks,
Manisha

I assume "the" editor is your own text editor:
StyledText styledText= getSourceViewer().getTextWidget();
styledText.getLocationAtOffset(caretOffset);
