IPXV_Document ActivateTool SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

I'm trying to activate a tool other than the default "hand" tool.

PXV_Control1.Doc.ActivateTool(X)

For any X, the above line fails with an error message dialog: "the directory cannot be found in the cache."

Help page does not help much: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... tivateTool

p.s.
I can enumerate Tools by PXV_Control1.Inst.Tools[] and get see their names - but am unsure what nToolID should be used for the tool I want to activate.

Hi, zarkogajic!

I asked recently about this.
I change tools like this:

Code: Select all

control.Inst.ExecUICmd("cmd.tool.hand");

You can see the needed command ID by the End-User Editor!



Hope it works for you!

Thanks, I figured it out

Still, does that mean the ActivateTool does not work?

HI Alex,

Thanks, that I guess works in the same way as ExecUICmd does.

Is ActivateTool really meant to be used in that way? I mean the sdkHelp does not mention this at all. Also, what should "PXV_ActivateToolFlags" be used for (enum with only one value)?

However, the following ends in null value for aTool (so cannot use):

integer nToolID = PXV_Control1.Inst.Str2ID('cmd.tool.hand', false);
IPXV_Tool aTool = PXV_Control1.Inst.GetTool(nToolID);

Then, the following ends with an error message "the directory cannot be found in the cache"

integer nToolID = PXV_Control1.Inst.Str2ID('cmd.tool.hand', false);
PXV_Control1.Doc.ActivateTool(nToolID);

So, not sure what how to use ActivateTool (in combination with GetTool and Inst.Str2ID)?

Hi Alex,

Yes, sorry, my bad. Trying to evaluate various things - so being to fast ...

Anyhow, using "tool.hand" works!
