Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function FindMouseTool( _
   ByVal tooltype As Type _
) As IGoTool

public IGoTool FindMouseTool( 
   Type tooltype
)

Parameters

tooltype

Return Value

null if no mouse tool's type is exactly tooltype

Remarks

This is most useful when you want to modify one of the standard tools, typically by setting one of its properties. This method searches all of the lists of mode-less tools: MouseDownTools, MouseMoveTools, MouseUpTools. Note that the class of the tool that is found must match exactly with the given tooltype--it cannot inherit from that type. This is implemented by calling FindMouseTool(tooltype, false).

Example

(myView.FindMouseTool(typeof(GoToolContext)) as GoToolContext).SingleSelection = false; (myView.FindMouseTool(typeof(GoToolLinkingNew)) as GoToolLinkingNew).ForwardsOnly = true; GoToolDragging dragtool = FindMouseTool(typeof(GoToolDragging)) as GoToolDragging; if (dragtool != null) { ... dragtool.ComputeEffectiveSelection(clipsel, false) ... }

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
