current selected tool (navigation toolbar)

[HugoAhlenius]

This should be simple - but how can I get the current selected tool?

What do you want to do? If you really need to know, look at navToolbar._navType.

Hi,
_navType is not of much use if I put other buttons in the toolbar as well... I am looking into this, since I want to be able to save the current tool in a cookie for persistence.

Thanks for the response!

How about save the current tool into a global variable for persistence in session.

Agreed with hzhu, save the current tool as a global or as a property on some global object when you activate your toolbar.

ok, will do that!
