Re: [udig-devel] programmatically selecting a modal tool

[Graham Davis <gdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In fact I've found another problem with this method.  The new tool 
becomes active, and it remains active forever (even if I select another 
modal tool manually) until I actually select this tool manually and then 
select another one.  Is there a better way to do this?
