How to position the caret from mouse cursor in SWT Text [message #526921]

My text widget needs to be able to set the caret position where it is selected.

The Text becomes focused when it is double clicked, and I would like to set the caret according to the position of the mouse.

Is there any way to get the mouse position relative to the text widget? Better yet relative to the caret position in the Text widget?

You can use such a code snippet for getting the cursor position relative
to your Text widget -

Point cursor = display.getCursorLocation();
cursor = display.map(null, text, cursor);
System.out.println("Text Bounds:"+cursor.x);

HTH.
