Hi again,
Basically, my problem is solved with Peter's work-around. However,
after reading some of the various other comments, including
Jacqueline's here, it strikes me that this has to be considered some
kind of bug, doesn't it?
Maybe :)
It is always important to remember that the IDE uses many of the same
'meta-level' editing features the engine provides as user stacks do. Due
to this, it defaults to assuming that (unless explicitly marked as such
- as suggested in my previous post) any user stack loaded into it is
wanting to be edited.
I do think that if you are providing tools to use in the IDE for others,
then it is better to follow its requirements in that regard (e.g. via
the style property or via being a plugin) than switching the tool in
user code which will (with the way the engine / IDE currently works)
always cause some conflict at some point.
That being said, there are two IDE library APIs which handle the tool
switch without going behind the IDE's back:
revIDEChooseBrowseTool
revIDEChoosePointerTool
Using either of these in a preOpenStack/openStack handler does appear to
make the setting stick.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
