Description
This interface is new at ArcGIS 9.3.
Use sketch operations to provide undo and redo capabilities when making modifications to the engine edit sketch. For example, if you wanted to insert a new point in the middle of the edit sketch, create a sketch operation so the edit can be undone. IEngineSketchOperation derives from IOperation giving these additional methods: CanRedo, CanUndo, Do, Redo, Undo. When undoing a sketch operation use either the IEngineSketchOperation::Undo method or the IOperationStack::Undo method available from the IToolbarControl::OperationStack property. Do not mix these 2 approaches.
Engine sketch operations are very similar to engine edit operations. First, call the Start method to flag the beginning of the sketch operation. Use the MenuString property to give the operation a name. Perform the edits. Call Finish to complete the sketch operation.
The Finish method allows tools to give more information about what they modified; typically, the edited sketch point is passed back to clients listening to engine editor events (IEngineEditEvents). For example, if a point is deleted from an edit sketch and IEngineSketchOperation::Finish is used to complete the operation, the deleted point is passed to the clients responding to IEngineEditEvents::OnVertexDeleted.
