Protected Properties
 NameDescription
Protected PropertyGets the active MapView.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the mouse up behavior for Rectangle/Circle/Ellipse/Freehand sketches.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the DAML ID of the context menu for the tool.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the DAML ID of the toolbar to display for the tool.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the DAML ID of the embeddable control to show in the dock pane when the tool is active.  
Protected Property Gets the active editing template being used by the tool.  
Protected PropertyGets the EmbeddableControl created for the tool. This is the control set by the ControlID property.  
Protected PropertyGets or sets whether the geometry constructed from a finished sketch should be simplified prior to being returned to OnSketchCompleteAsync. The default value is true.  
Protected Internal Property Gets the DAML identifier. (Inherited from ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts.PlugIn)
Protected Property Gets or sets whether the MapTool's default behavior of a left click should be to create a sketch.  
Protected Property Gets or sets whether the sketch shows a symbol.  
Protected Property Optional property to allow tool's embeddable control to remain open after the tool is deactivated.  
Protected Property Gets or sets whether the embeddable control on the map view can be resized.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the DAML ID of the embeddable control to show on the map view when the tool is active.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the position of the embeddable control on the map view as a ratio.  
Protected PropertyGets the EmbeddableControl created for the tool to be shown on the map view. This is control set by the OverlayControlID property.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the DAML ID of the context menu shown when modifying a segment.  
Protected Property Gets a read only ShortCut collection for the current tool. (Inherited from ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts.Tool)
Protected Property  
Protected Property Gets or sets if the sketch geometry should be created using map or screen coordinates.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the symbol to use for the sketch. This is only supported when creating a sketch in map coordinates.  
Protected Property Gets or sets the type or shape of the geometry to be created by the sketch.  
Protected PropertyGets the SnapResult for each vertex in the current sketch.  
Protected Property Gets or sets whether the sketch is for creating a feature and should use the CurrentTemplate.  
Protected Property Gets or sets if the sketch can enter sketch selection mode by holding the SHIFT key. Sketch selection mode allows you to select additional features while sketching. The sketch state is saved in selection mode. Releasing the SHIFT key returns you to sketch mode and allows you to resume sketching. The default value is False.  
Protected Property Gets or sets whether to use snapping to precisely sketch on the active map view. The default value is false.
