Select Tools
The Select family of tools (SelectMapTool, SelectPointMapTool, SelectPolygonMapTool,
SelectRadiusMapTool, SelectRectMapTool, and SelectRegionMapTool) select points and regions
that fall within the geometric object shaped by the use of these tools. For example, the
SelectRectMapTool selects objects that fall within the rectangle. SelectMapTool is the abstract base
class that the other select tools derive from.
L
MapXtreme does not support the intersection of an object with a polyline, hence there is no
select polyline tool.
The SelectPointMapTool can be used to rotate objects.
A SelectNode mode allows individual points to be moved, added, or removed from objects. See
Editing a FeatureGeometry with the Select Tool on page 157 for an example.
