This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). markup Markup MarkupTool maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number MarkupTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by MarkupTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.If subclasses override MarkupTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximumnumber of arguments their implementation expects. minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number MarkupTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by MarkupTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override MarkupTool.parseAndRun, they should alsooverride this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can usethis information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute. namespace Static I18NNamespace MarkupTool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool. receivedDownEvent boolean MarkupTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event. targetIsLocked boolean MarkupTool targetModelId Accessor undefined | string MarkupTool targetView undefined | Viewport MarkupTool The viewport within which the tool operates. toolId Accessor ReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localizethe keyin, description, etc. from the current locale. toolKey Static string MarkupTool Defined in markup/src/TextEdit.ts Line 58 Last Updated: 11 June, 2024
