LVectorWindow::GetToolType
#include "ltwrappr.h"
L_UINT LVectorWindow::GetToolType(L_VOID)
Gets the current tool type for the class object's window.
Returns
The current tool type. Possible values are:
Value |
Meaning |
TOOL_VECTOR_USERMODE |
user tool type (default). |
TOOL_VECTOR_SELECT |
select tool - allows user to select individual objects in the vector. |
TOOL_VECTOR_PANIMAGE |
pan image tool - allows the user to pan the vector image by clicking a mouse button and dragging the mouse. The "pan cursor" will not appear if the image cannot be panned (i.e. - there are no scroll bars). If there are not scroll bars, press the PLUS key on the numeric key pad a few times to zoom until scroll bars appear. |
TOOL_VECTOR_ROTATE |
3d rotate toolallows user to rotate the vector, or individual objects within a vector. |
Comments
If the tool type is TOOL_VECTOR_SELECT, you can do the following:
Left-click and drag the mouse to
define a rectangle. All objects in the defined rectangle are selected.
Right-click and drag the mouse to
define a rectangle. All objects in the defined rectangle are un-selected.
Double clicking the left mouse button
automatically selects all objects in the vector. NOTE: If creating the
LVectorWindow as a window, the window style must include the CS_DBLCLKS
style to receive double click messages.
Double clicking the right mouse button
automatically un-selects all objects in the vector. NOTE: If creating
the LVectorWindow as a window, the window style must include the CS_DBLCLKS
style to receive double click messages.
When using the vector dialogs, only the currently selected objects are affected. If the SelectedOnly state is set to TRUE (LVectorWindow::GetSelectedOnly, LVectorWindow::SetSelectedOnly), then only selected objects will be scaled. If the SelectedOnly state is set to FALSE, then ALL objects are scaled.
Using the vector rotate tool:
Left-click and drag the mouse. If
you move the mouse vertically (up and down), the vector image rotates
up and down along an imaginary X-axis which passes horizontally through
the vector. If you move the mouse horizontally (left and right), the vector
image rotates left and right along an imaginary Y-axis which passes veritcally
through the vector. Dragging the mouse at an angle results in a combination
of these rotations.
Right-click and drag the mouse. The
"rotate-Z" cursor appears. Dragging the mouse causes the vector
to rotate in the XY plane (the plane that corresponds to the screen) along
an imaginary Z-axis which passes through the center of the window.
