[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: EditPartViewer.findObjectAt problem
Ah found the problem. Forgot to convert the absolute cursor location into one relevant to the Graphical viewer.

Thanks.

findObjectAt(Point) works for me. Maybe your editpart is not registered with its figure? You should step into the find method and see where it is failing.

Hey all, I'm having a problem here and was wondering if anyone could shine some light.

I'm trying to find out what EditPart/Figure is under the cursor at any moment.

Using EditPartViewer.findObjectAt(<point>) gives me back the root edit part but not the specific edit part.

I've tried using EditPartViewer.findObjectAtExcluding(Point position, Collection exclusionList, Conditional condition) in both the following ways to specify I don't want the root edit part:

1) Giving it a List containing the root edit part that I don't want.
2) Using the following Conditional
    new EditPartViewer.Conditional() {
        public boolean evaluate(EditPart part) {
            return part instanceof <type of part I want>;
        }
    }

But both of them still give me back the root.

Anyone got any ideas? I was thinking of locating the IFigure instead and working from there, but getLightWeightSystem() is a protected method in EditPartViewer so I can't access it.

Regards,
Kevin.
