Proxy Tools

[AdamB]

I'm sure this one has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread..

I know we mere mortals cannot create instances of the standard SU tools, but can we delegate messages to them?

I'm think it would be neat to have a custom tool be able to have mode where it was just acting as a Proxy and forwarding all onLButtonDown/onMouseMove etc to another tool.

what is the difference in creating a tool and handling the buttons/movement/keyboard ?

When you say create instances of the the standard SU tools, it makes me think of the custom toolbar script. You can make a toolbar with any of the original SU commands, in any order, combo, even put the little verticle breaks where you want. I forget the link, its somewhere here. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking though.

I mean I want to create a tool that code-wise looks like this:

class MyProxyTool

  def onMouseMove(flags, x, y, view)
    <pseudo-code> 
       call the SU movetool with (flags,x,y,view) arguments 
    </pseudo-code>
  end

  .. and so on ..
end

So its a tool that just passes everything onto the Movetool (for example) to allow it to "do its stuff".

Does that make sense?
