Getting the menu items programmatically [message #305131]

Hi all,

is it possible to somehow get the currently active menu (ot context menu)
and the menu item under the mouse cursor? Something like
Display.getDefault().getCursorControl()... but getting menu items also?

Thank you!

I noticed that the display.getCursorControl() returns Shell if the mouse
is over the menus (File, Edit ... Window, Help).
Well... we now have methods such shell.getMenuBar().getItem(index)... and
this is the index in witch the items are inserted in the menu bar.
Unfortunately the returned MenuItem instance do not contain any "size"
related information, so I can not do the location-index mapping by
itterating ovet the items... any ideas?
