LVectorWindow::GetToolType

Summary

Gets the current tool type for the class object's window.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_UINT LVectorWindow::GetToolType(L_VOID)

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:

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.
