Class ClickSelectingTool
The ClickSelectingTool selects and deselects Parts when there is a click. It does this by calling StandardMouseSelect(). It is also responsible for handling and dispatching click events on GraphObjects by calling StandardMouseClick(Func<GraphObject, GraphObject>).
Namespace: Northwoods.Go.Tools
Assembly: Northwoods.GoDiagram.WinForms.dll
Syntax
public class ClickSelectingTool : ToolRemarks
Note that this tool avoids raising click events on objects that are in temporary layers. This is to prevent parts such as selection adornments from interfering with clicking on selected nodes or links. (Adornments are in the "Adornment" Layer, which IsTemporary.) However this means that if you add a Click event handler on a GraphObject in an Adornment, it will not be called. You can get it to be called by setting IsActionable to true on that object in the adornment.
This tool is a standard mouse-up tool, the ClickSelectingTool.
This tool does not utilize any Adornments or tool handles. This tool does not modify the model or conduct any transaction.
An example customization of this tool is shown in the Tree Map sample, where the StandardMouseSelect() method is overridden to permit the user to cycle through the chain of containing groups, changing the selection on each click to the next containing group.
If you want to programmatically select a Part, you can set IsSelected or call Select(Part). If you want to know which Part is at a particular point, you can call FindPartAt(Point, bool).
