Map Object : PointerMode Property

Glossary Item Box

Description

Returns or sets the currently active mode tool. A mode tool is a tool that puts the map pointer in an action mode and remains depressed while active (for example, Identify, Select, Vertex Edit, etc.).

Property type

Read-write property

Syntax

object.PointerMode = [ value ]

Return Type

String

Remarks

The PointerMode property applies to built-in and custom mode tools. A custom tool is considered to be a mode tool if it handles one of the OnPointer... events.

Whenever the active mode tool changes, the OnPointerModeChanged event is fired by the Map object.

Here is a list of built-in modes that are supported for the value argument:
