FindMouseTool(Type) Method

In This Topic

Find one of the tools used by this view that is an instance of a given tool type.

Syntax

public IGoTool FindMouseTool( 
   Type tooltype
)

Parameters

tooltype

Return Value

null if no mouse tool's type is exactly

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 --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) ... }
