Calling a sub from standard ArcPad Tool?

[Anonymous User]

Hi,

Is it possible to call a routine from an eevnt on a standard ArcPad tool. I want to request that a user first select a point when they are about to digitise a polygon.

There is no events tab within the standard tools, so does this need to be a custom tool?

Thanks

Salome'

Hi Salome,

It is not possible to call a sub from a standard ArcPad tool, however you can create your own custom tool and implement your routine to invoke the action of the tool by using internal commands e.g.

Application.ExecuteCommand("ModeSelect")

Check out the Customising ArcPad help and search for internal commands

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Gareth
