Hello Everyone,
Back in the old days Mapbasic had something called toolhandler. When this subroutine was defined a button would be added to the button pads and when it was used if would fire off this toolhandler routine.
I wonder if there is an equivalent in Version 17? - I am converting old code to v17 and the tool handler was used as a kind of hidden tool (the user drew a Polyline and then was able to click on the map to define a point without changing tool - in fact to the user it was a single tool.
I know I can replicate this by defining two buttons but it got me thinking if there was a way to have a hidden button rather than one visible to the user?
If so, how?
I am going to look into but I thought i would ask first!
Many thanks
Regard
