Enable / disable a tool depending on data / layout view

JanBurdziej1

I have an ArcGIS 10 add-in (IDE VB.NET Express 2008) with custom toolbar and a custom tool on it. I want this tool to be enabled in data view and disabled in layout view.

What is the best way to achieve this using Arc Objects?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Jan

While defining your tool in Config.esriaddin use onDemad="false" parameter, see the example below:

    <ArcMap>
      <Commands>
        <Tool id="YOUR-TOOL-ID" onDemand="false" class="YOUR-CLASS" message="..." caption="..." tip="..." category="YOUR-CATEGORY" image="..." />
      </Commands>

I am doing the same task. My tool still not working. What do you mean with "OnDemand tag in Config.esriaddinx file"?
