McGraphToolServer Object
    
 
Description

Interface implemented by user defined graphic tool classes.

Object Model


Remarks

Users wanting to extend the overlay manager functionnality by adding new tools to create objects should implement this interface in their tool objects. Additionnaly, these custom tools should also implement either McViewer._IMcViewEvents or McViewer._IMcBasicViewEvents in order to receive notifications from the viewer. They don't need however to register as a sink, since McOverlay will take care of propagating the appropriate messages.

This interface is also the one that is returned from the SelectTool method and is the type of the ActiveTool property.
