Hi guys,
I want the user of my application to be able to click on anoutput anchor
(which starts the connection tool)...then connect it to another anchor
(which stops the connection tool -> goes to default tool). The last part
is simple, but I'm wondering what is the best way to implement the first
part. Should I have the edit part of the figure listen to mouse clicks,
then check if the user clicked on the area in which the port is drawn,
then set the current tool the the connection tool and set the source to
the selected node? Is there perhaps a better way to do this?
thanks in advance,
-R

Just changing the tool when the mouse is pressed should work. If you don't
consume the mouse event, it should then also be forwarded to the new tool
(which will recognize the source anchor).

Use an anchor whose drag tracker is the connection drag creation tracker.
