Hi,
how to determine that which tool is been selected from the palette viewer.
actually i want to set a particular value to true or false depending upon
the selection of a particular component.

i am using the following line

Tool t = getActiveTool();

after this i want to compare the value of tool with the component so that
i can change the value....

if(t == ? )
{

}

Regards,
Harsh Singal

You can do an instanceof check (PanningSelectionTool, MarqueeSelectionTool,
ConnectionCreationTool or CreationTool). If it's a creation tool you can
get its creation factory (although I think that method is protected) and
determine what component it is creating.
