hi, i want to draw a selection box i a gef editor. i already have
listeners for mousemove event. Now i want draw a box, when the user is
holding a button and moving the mouse in the editor, in order to select
some objects in the editor.
How can i do this ?
(I hope you can understand my english)
Thanks in advance

Shouldn't you just be including the Marquee selection tool in your palette?

@see MarqueeSelectionTool

You can see how it's integrated into Logic example in
LogicPlugin#createControlGroup

hi thanks,
i don't want to you use the marquee tool. I want to be able to select the
object directly with the mouse, without activating another tool before.
I've already seen some application, that managed it so.

greetings

The logic example does this, using the MarqueeDragTracker, which extends
MarqueeSelectionTool.
