Re: [Java-gnome-developer] TreeView mouse location (now TextView)

[Igor F. <if...@re...>]

Hi all,

I'm still banging my head on a variation of this problem. With the
TreeView I ended up creating a timer that would fire off after the mouse
handler was invoked, get the current selection and find what was clicked
on that way.

Now I'm having this problem with a TextView. However, if I right-click
on a TextView, the selection isn't changed. So my approach doesn't work.
The only plausible way I see of doing this is to map the mouse location
to a lineNum/offset in the TextView somehow. After digging through the
java docs for a while, I can't find anything appropriate. Does anyone
know of a way this can be accomplished?

Thanks,
Igor
