No, you can ... - queryInterface the selection object for selection ranges (com.sun.star.text.TextRanges) - get the first selected range - get a cursor over the range - if the cursor is collapsed (cursor.isCollapsed() ) it means no text was selected, otherwise it means text was select What I would really like to see ... but it doesnt seem to be possible ... is for an XSelectionChangeListener to directly let me know if text was selected or not without doing this textrange comparison stuff.... (currently xselectionchange listener is invoked for everything...even mere movement of the cursor....). I am trying to build functionality like a context sensitive toolbar that gets activated only when text is selectd (like the copy, paste toolbar in openoffice )... anyone know how to go about doing this ? ashok ashok --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
