How to get the active tool from the palette? [message #2313]

Hi there!

I have added a menu item to the context menu of my gmf editor and want it to
be activated only if a certain kind of tool is selected from the palette.

Therefore i want to check within the calculateEnabled() method of my action
class (which is inherited from DiagramAction) which palette tool was
selected before.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

Within your action find appropriate diagram editor part and adapt it to
GraphicalViewer; then viewer.getEditDomain().getActiveTool().
