How to get the value KeepToolSelected

[reinierkops]

I can toggle the KeepToolSelected, but how can I call the viewer what the value is of KeepToolSelected
And when KeepToolSelected is off, it automaticly switches to the hand tool, but i want that it switch to the textselector tools. How can i perform this?

Possibility for get/set value of 'KeepSelected' property for each commenting tool will be added (and described in the ActiveX SDK Help) into the next build.

It will be represented as:
GetProperty("Tools.Line.KeepSelected", val, 0);
SetProperty("Tools.TypeWriter.KeepSelected", val, 0);

and possibility for get/set default commenting tool as:
GetProperty("Tools.DefaultTool", val, 0);
SetProperty("Tools.DefaultTool", "Select", 0); // text selector tool

Is it possible that when KeepToolSelected is set to false, that the previous selected tool will be selected, instead of the handtool, what now is?

Or do you have another option?

You can use for this:
GetProperty("Tools.Line.KeepSelected", val, 0);
GetProperty("Tools.Arrow.KeepSelected", val, 0);
GetProperty("Tools.Rect.KeepSelected", val, 0);
GetProperty("Tools.Oval.KeepSelected", val, 0);
...
For more information see our AX help, section "Reference\Named Items\Named Objects\Tools".

SetProperty("Tools.DefaultTool", "Select", 0);

does not work in the new release either.

I mean SetProperty("Tools.Default", "Select", 0); , not "DefaultTool"

After that the default tool is apparently set, you can see it by getting it with GetProperty, but despite of it the hand is shown and not the select tool.

SetProperty("Tools.Default", "Select", 0);

Sorry, but this property is not supported yet.
