Custom tool how to implemet double click event

eddixoncastillo — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:12:34 GMT

I have a tool written in C# for draw pictures using mid points; but i don't know how to finish the sketch using the OnDblClick() method overriden by my tool, because when I make a double click that method is never invoked.
Here's the code below:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.BaseClasses;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.CATIDs;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Controls;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Display;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry;

You could call FinishSketch on the IeditSketch interface.

Does OnDblClick() appear under the members menu on top of the code editor in your C# project? I have a custom tool (class that implements BaseTool) like yours and my breakpoint inside my OnDblClick method is reached, and its message box is displayed with every double-click I do? Mine works with or without base.OnDblClick() statement.

public sealed class clsTool1 : BaseTool
{
     ...
     ...
     ...

     #region Overridden Class Methods

     public override void OnDblClick()
     {
            base.OnDblClick();
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Double-clicked!")
     }

     ...
     ...
     ...
} //end of class

Just a thought, but maybe onDoubleClick will just be invoked when double clicking on your tools icon like onClick works.

Then you would have to make use of on down, read the time until on mouse down(on mouse up as well) is activated twice. And when the mesured time is under 1 second, then a double click was performed.

I have just coped with this issue. The solution is implementing ITool in your custom tool. Add this line of code after Inherits BaseTool:

   [INDENT] Inherits BaseTool
    Implements ITool
    Implements ICommand[/INDENT]

Then, add a new method, like this:

    [INDENT]Public Overrides Sub OnDblClick()
       [INDENT][INDENT]MyBase.OnDblClick()

        Dim newLineGeometry As IGeometry = _lineDrawFeedback.Stop()
        Dim rgbColor As IRgbColor = GetRGBColor(255, 0, 0)
        AddGraphicToMap(m_hookHelper.ActiveView, newLineGeometry, rgbColor, rgbColor)

        _lineDrawFeedback = Nothing
        _duringLineDrawing = False[/INDENT][/INDENT]

    End Sub[/INDENT]

Good Luck!!!
