How do I get a window context so I can create NavigationOptions in a resharper plugin

Question

I have a navigation plugin which I want to extend to allow support for context navigation. I've got everything I need except for the NavigationOptions instance. In my INavigateFromHereProvider I get called with an IDataContext so can create the NavigationOptions from this using the NavigationOptions.FromDataContext method. Great.

In my context action I don't get called with a IDataContext, I get given a ICSharpContextActionDataProvider during construction. I can get my IDeclaredElement from this to base my navigation decision on, but I'm not sure how to create my NavigationOptions instance. It feels like I should be using NavigationOptions.FromWindowContext but I seems to need a PopupWindowContextSource and I don't know where to get one of these from.

So where can I get a relevant PopupWindowContextSource to create my NavigationOptions from?

Ah, discovered the answer (well, an answer).

I can use this:

 var popupWindowContextSource = solution.GetComponent<MainWindowPopupWindowContext>().Source;

I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate thing to use, but it seems to work.

You might be better off using NavigationOptions.FromDataContext. This will pull a window context from the IDataContext that you've already got. This should give you a popup window context that's appropriate to where you've been invoked from - anchored to the editor window, or the tree view, or whatever. Using the MainWindowPopupContext will give you a context that's based on the main Visual Studio window, which will likely work and be fine, but might not be the most relevant.

I don't have a IDataContext at this point. I'm adding support for doing the navigation via Alt-Enter (a context action) so in my IsAvailable(IUserDataHolder cache) method I only have access to the ICSharpContextActionDataProvider I was given in the constructor

It's in this method that I want to get a popupwindowcontextsource

Oops. Misread the question. I think using MainWindowPopupContext is fine, then, or you could even create your own that derives from PopupWindowContext.
