Dear community,
can any body give me a hint what is the most elegant way to add a mouse down selection listener to a CTabItem that is part of the "chevron list" in a CTabFolder?

Thank you very much for any hint.

Hi,

You can use CTabFolder.addCTabFolder2Listener to add the CTabFolder2Listener or CTabFolder2Adapter. The showList() will be called when user clicks on the chevron button.
By default, CTabFolder creates a list (a Menu) with the items & displays it.
If you want to be notified when the user clicks on an item in the list, you can create your own selection list and add selection listener to the items in the list . Also,you should set event.doit = false, so that the default list is not created. Have a look at CTabFolder.showList to see how it is done in CTabFolder.
