The cursor also is a selection (a collapsed one). So if it is moved, the selection changes. That's the way it is.

Unfortunately even moving the cursor in the document invokes a selectionChange event (i.e. there is no text selected at all ) . Is this is a bug , or is this the way it is ? ashok - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is already a SelectionChangeListener support - but not at the model, but at the Controller(s). And IMHO this is the right place. Having a "getCurrentSelection" at the model is wrong IMHO and just made for the convenience of lazy developers. ;-) Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

The difference is only in rendering or for user interaction such as starting drag&drop vs. extending the selection upon mouse point-and-drag. Is a differentiation needed elsewhere?

yes, my response was only in the context of a Writer document, dont know
about spreadsheets.
Checking if a graphic object is selected is quite easy (though a
different use case).
you just query the selection object if it
supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextGraphicObject") .

Am I right in that it is not possible to simply generically query any given xModel's getCurrentSelection() result to answer the question "is something selected". C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
