Hi, I'm new on the Lotus Notes platform and I wish to develop a widget on the sidebar reacting on different selected object.

My needs :
I want a widget on the sidebar which reacts on document focus to display :
- Contact information when the user click or open a Contact Document
- Sender information whent the user click or open an Email Document.
- Do a research on a overline a word or a sentence with a item in the context menu (right click)

What I have :
- I can update a widget (now a web browser) on the sidebar when the focus change
- I can add an item in the context menu when an item is overline and add an action to update a widget on the sidebar

My problems :
- When I use the added item in the context menu I have an IStructuredSelection object but can't get the selected text. How to do this?
- When the focus change, I have NotesDocumentSummary or com.ibm.csi.types.DocumentSummary object (when clicking on a Contact in the AddressBook or when I select an Email in my Inbox folder). How can I extract the email address and Firstname and Lastname ( the From header for Email) ?

Thanks for your help.
