--- Code: ---   
    wxString theName;
    EditorManager* em = Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager();
    if (em)
    {
        EditorBase* eb = em->GetActiveEditor();
        if (eb)
        {
            theName = eb->GetFilename();
        }
    }

--- End code ---

    Your code satisfied my needs, thanks very much for your solution to my problem. I succeeded in getting the full path of the file in the active editor.
    But I encountered another problem that I wanted to know what is the definition of the Manager class. I have used this class before. I searched my CB sdk documentation for its definition , but in vain, I only get its members, and its members' usage. Which website can help to query the main purpose of the Manager class?

Bruce: If you really want to help you, you have to try harder to explain what do you want to achieve.

As far as I can understand, you want to find a way to get the full path to the active file?

addition in our right click menu : activate project containing "this" file.

Well a file can belong to many projects/targets. What would you do then? Ask which one to activate?

I guess this is something we could do. Will be easier to make a choice from the selected alternatives, then manual search .
