        Subject:        [platform-ui-dev] runWithEvent support for contributed drop down actions


I would like to take advantage of the new support in IAction for the 
runWithEvent(Event) method.  I want to do this so I can access the state 
mask of the action, and determine if a key like Shift or Ctrl was held 
down when the action was invoked.  The problem is that since my action is 
a contributed drop action on the toolbar, my overridden version of 
runWithEvent is never called.  The action contribution item's action is a 
WWinPluginPulldown, and this class does not override runWithEvent, but 
just uses the default supplied by Action, which just calls run().  The 
run() method defined by PluginPulldown creates the delegate and calls 
run(IAction) on it.  Thus, the runWithEvent() I've defined in the delegate 
gets ignored.  I realize this support is new and subject to change, but 
couldn't WWinPluginPulldown override runWithEvent to call runWithEvent on 
the delegate, passing in the event? 

Thanks, 
Joe
