ClickLayout()

Summary

Allows the user to edit annotations in the current map or layout.

Syntax

double_click = ClickLayout()

Returns

A boolean that is "True" if the user double-clicked on an annotation, and "False" otherwise.

Notes

• ClickLayout() allows the user to select, move, resize, and rotate annotations.

• If double_click is "True" use GetSelectedAnnotations() to identify the currently selected annotations.

• This function should be called only from a macro that is activated from the menus, or from a tool in a toolbox or toolbar. Calling it from any other type of dialog box often causes confusion about which window is active (the dialog box, versus the map).

Example

tool "annotation editor" 0, 0 bitmap: "myicon.bmp" do
cl = ClickLayout()
if cl = "True" then do
// processing to edit the selected annotations
end
