how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

807589Jun 20 2008 — edited Jun 22 2008
Hello,

I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.

More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).

2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).

3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.

My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.

My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.

Would you please help me on this regard.

Thanks
