Right click editor offset [message #776135]

Hello,
I'm trying to allow a user action from an editor's right click menu. That user action should operate on the object of text the user right clicked in the editor.
I managed to get the current editor's cursor offset by using ISelectionProvider, and it works well. Except for the case when the user didn't specifically move the cursor to the desired object before right clicking to activate the action.
Is there a way to retrieve the offset in the editor where the right click was initiated?
Thanks,
Roded

yes it can be done using ISelection-object, and u can use it for your requirement by making ur class implement IObjectActionDelegate
whether u right-click or left-click the ISelection-object has the details of the selected item...
