Implementing the EditTool

[Anonymous User]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement the EditTool in my own class. Using VB.NET I was able to get this working. Now I've converted to C# and can get it working.

The code does not crash, but somehow the edittool is not hooked.

Any ideas?

You suppose to fullfill the below requirement.. I think..

  public Modify()
        {
            base.m_category = "Test"; //localizable text
            base.m_caption = "Test";  //localizable text
            base.m_message = "This should work in ArcMap/MapControl/PageLayoutControl";         

            //localizable text
            base.m_toolTip = "Test";  //localizable text
            base.m_name = "test";   //unique id, non-localizable (e.g. "MyCategory_MyCommand")

            try
            {
                string bitmapResourceName = GetType().Name + ".bmp";
                base.m_bitmap = new Bitmap(GetType(), bitmapResourceName);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(ex.Message, "Invalid Bitmap");
            }
        }

That's not the problem I'm afraid. Somehow the Edit Tool is not activated through this implementation, but I can't see where.
