PlugIns? (#2) - Toolbar button selection (#178) - Message List
Is there a way to select the active Editor Toolbar button in code rather than by click select?
For example, Drawing Editor button is selected and the drawing editor toolbar is up on the right side of FalconView. I want to select the Moving Map Tool button from the Editor Toolbar (Select/Activate in code) to bring up the Moving Map Toolbar on the right side of FalconView, but do it in code, not by clicking the button.
Scrolling through the Overlay List Toolbar entries using either the drop down selections or the arrows will change the selected button, but again, I want to accomplish this in code.
Possibly setting the active overlay? But how to do this?

Am I correct in that you can get the GPS layer handle by calling
gpsLayerHandle = gps.GetConnectedHandle?
and that I should be able to call
value = layer.MoveLayerToTop?(gpsLayerHandle)
to move it to the top and make it's editor the currently active editor?
This is what I am trying but
layer.MoveLayerToTop?(gpsLayerHandle)
is returning -1(failure). What could cause MoveLayerToTop? to return a failure?
layer.MoveLayerToTop?(someDrawingLayerHandle)
works and moves a drawing layer to the top making the drawing editor active. Can I not call this method on the gps layer?
I verified the handle to the GPS layer is valid.

Here is a program that does what you want:
#include <iostream> #import "fvw.tlb" no_namespace, named_guids #import "FalconViewOverlay.tlb" no_namespace, named_guids const long SUCCESS = 0; const GUID FVWID_Overlay_MovingMapTrail = { 0x9e30f658, 0x9d21, 0x417e, { 0xa1, 0xc5, 0xb4, 0x60, 0xc0, 0xe4, 0xf6, 0x37 } }; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { ::CoInitialize(NULL); try { ILayer5Ptr spLayer5(CLSID_Layer5); IDispatchPtr spDispatch; if (spLayer5->GetFvOverlayManager(&spDispatch) == SUCCESS) { IFvOverlayManagerPtr spOverlayManager = spDispatch; spOverlayManager->SetCurrentEditor(FVWID_Overlay_MovingMapTrail); } } catch(_com_error& e) { // log error std::cout << "EXCEPTION: " << (char *)e.Description() << std::endl; } ::CoUninitialize(); return 0; }
