Hello, my name is Federico. I am implementing a GUI .I need to get the left upper Context menu Location.
My problem is the following: When I press the right mouse button, the contextual menu is dispalyed, after that the user is able to create several kind of objects, when the user pick in a particular option a new object must appear in the position where the user has pressed the right button.
I hope you can undertand my problem and someone can help me.
Thank you in advance!
Federico.-

Hello,
Point pt has x and y properties, pt.x and pt.y. You need to send these
x,y co-ordinates to your Menu Action which will create the Command.
Assuming you declare your Action in your GEF Editor you could set the
x,y position in your action. I use it in a "Paste" Action like this:
viewer.getControl().addMenuDetectListener(new
MenuDetectListener() {
public void menuDetected(MenuDetectEvent e) {
PasteAction action =
(PasteAction)getActionRegistry().getAction(ActionFactory.PAS TE.getId());
Point pt = viewer.getControl().toControl(e.x, e.y);
action.setMouseClickPosition(pt.x, pt.y);
}
});

Another way to do it would be to let your Action have access to the
GraphicalViewer and let it be the MenuDetectListener

Hi,
for me it is achieved through trial and error and looking through all
the GEF examples I can find. I have been thinking for some time about
there should be a Wiki for tips and tricks.
