Description | Handle the newGraphic message if you want to create additional objects, switch tools, or do other tasks when a new graphic is created. Normally, the newGraphic message is handled at a higher level of the message path, since the newly created graphic does not yet have a script unless the templateGraphic contains one. The actual creation is not triggered by the newGraphic message, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the graphic from being created. |
