Retrieving mouse position [message #1066600]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to graphiti 0.10 (from 0.8 ) and was able to fix most of the compilation errors (changes in the API.
I have one remaining problem: in my custom move shape feature, how can I retrieve the mouse position ? Previously, this could be done by calling getMouseLocation() on the editor but this method doesn't exist anymore (and furthermore, getting the editor is deprecated).

I need this because I need to know the mouse position in the target shape (relative to the target shape). This is used to validate whether the shape can be moved there.

Thanks

Cedric,

getMouseLocation() has moved to DiagramBehavior, but it's not part of the
interface IDiagramBehaviorUI, so you will need to cast.
((DiagramBehavior)getDiagramBehavior()).getMouseLocation() from within your
feature should do it.
