ContextMenu activation pixel [message #46055]

Hello,

Is there an easy way to get the pixel where the user right-clicked to bring
up a contextmenu? Some of my contextual actions need this point to create
shapes at the position of the click.

Thanks,
Maged

The context menu can be activated using Shift+F10. The mouse location is
not interesting.

I don't think so that the mouse location is not interesting. I think that it
is very user friendly to create some EditParts using context menu at the
position of the mouse right click.

What Randy was saying is that you can activate the context menu with Shift-F10. The mouse may not
even be over the editor at that time. Then the mouse location is no use. I would think the best
way to go would be to put the new EditPart at some default location, like centered in the editor.

You could make a modified SelectionTool that handlesButtonDown(3) and pops
up the normal context menu plus the additional menu items for creation, but
this would not be accessible to non-mouse users.
