Deactivate Tool

Hi, I tried activate zoomtool and pantool. Its all good. Works fine.

However, I can't deactivate. it says "Value of Type String cannot be converted to Syncfusion.windows.forms.diagram.tool".

How do i deactivate? Please assist.

Hi Ameel,

You can deactivate any tool registered in your application using the following code procedure:

1. The tool that is Active at the moment is first got as follows:

Tool t_tool = this.diagram1.Controller.ActiveTool;

2. To deactivate the active tool, the following method is used:

this.diagram1.Controller.DeactivateTool(t_tool);


I am sure this will resolve your query. Update me of your experiences and also post comments if your require any
further clarifications in this regard, Thanks!
