Null or Non-Tool?

Post by DanielG »

Hello,

Is it possible to not have a tool selected/active?

I have an application with a toolbar as well as the PDF-Exchange toolbar. I have a couple of buttons on my own toolbar that I would like to use for some special annotation scenarios (not already covered by the PDF-Exchange tools). It seems that the PDF-Exchange component has to be set to one of the tools, but I was hoping I could set it to null or empty so that I can interact with the document and not create another kind of annotation (and not have one of the PDF-Exchange buttons selected at the same time).

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

There should always be a tool selected and the default is the hand tool. If a user clicks the tool in your toolbar then you might hide the tool from the built in Viewer AX toolbar if you don't want it to show twice. Or alternatively you can hide all Viewer Toolbars and present all the buttons in your own toolbars only.

Regards,
Stefan
