[udig-devel] Modal tool deactivation

[Damjan Šavko]

I think I'm missing what you are trying to tell me. As I see the
ViewPortModel does not have any methods to access the buttons on the
toolbar.
What I want to do is programatically disable a modal tool (turn it off). I
tried with
ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getTool( toolID,
categoryID).setEnabled(false)
but that only works with ActionTools and not with modals.
I'm searching for something like:
...getModalActionsToolbar.setSelected(0) or
getModalActionsToolbar.undoSelection() (select the previous selected modal
tool)
