Getting X Y Point from contxt menu right click

[MichaelGiron]

Hello,

I have created a custom tool that I've added to the Sketch Tool context menu. How do get the x y point on the map that was clicked to fire the context menu?

Thanks!

You can override the IDocumentEvents_OnContextMenu event, and convert the screen coordinates to map coordinates using IActiveView.ScreenDisplay.DisplayTransformation.ToMapPoint

You can also use IEditor.Location to avoid document events.
