Modal Property (GoToolPanning)

In This Topic

Gets or sets whether this tool is used in a modal fashion when AutoPan is false.

Syntax

public virtual bool Modal {get; set;}

Property Value

the initial value is false

Remarks

This property is ignored when AutoPan is true.

When you add an instance of this non-autopanning tool to the GoView.MouseDownTools, you are using it in a non-Modal fashion.


            GoToolPanning panningtool = new GoToolPanning(myView);
            panningtool.AutoPan = false;
            myView.MouseDownTools.Add(panningtool);

This allows the user to use the other mode-less mouse tools, such as selecting, dragging, resizing, and linking as well as this manual panning tool when the user does a mouse down in the background.

If you use this manual panning tool in a modal fashion, the user will remain in this tool, able to pan the view whenever the user drags the mouse anywhere in the view.


            GoToolPanning panningtool = new GoToolPanning(myView);
            panningtool.AutoPan = false;
            panningtool.Modal = true;
            myView.Tool = panningtool;

The user can leave this mode by pressing the Cancel key or any other key.
