Hi,
I'm a little new to both event handling and tree viewers in SWT. Can
anyone give me some info as to what interfaces and methods I use to be
able to handle a right click event on a tree node using a jface viewer?

Also if I want to do different things for different types of objects in
the node tree is there a way to lookup the type of object the user right
clicked on? I see that master/block api in eclipse forms does this so I'm
thinking it has to be possible. Thanks

Okay, I have most of it figured out and probably should have researched
this more before I posted.

I'm using the addSelectionChangedListener method on the tree viewer that
will let me figure out what type of object the user clicked on. The only
catch is that I want the event to fire also when the user clicks on an
already selected item in the tree. This event only fires when the
selection is changed. I'm looking at the API and can't seem to find the
event on the tree viewer that would let me do that. Any hints?

Duncan,

You'll have to handle this separately by adding an SWT.MouseDown listener to
the underlying Tree widget, and then using Tree.getItem(Point) with the
event's x and y to determine the TreeItem, if any, that was clicked. Of
course you'll still get the selection change event as well whenever the
selected item changes.
