Description

Add ability to set the order/priority of event handlers

Global tools should be lower down in the chain so that specific tools can override how an event is handled.

For example, the display of pixel values in the status bar (by globak tool PixelProbe) should be overridden to show the (x,y, w, h) when dragging to create a figure (e.g. Rectangle Tool).

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

All the event handling methods in ITool/AbstractTool return a boolean indicating whether the event should be consumed or passed down the chain.

Assuming such methods return true for 'consume the event', in ToolService each of the EventSubscribers do something like this:

public void onEvent(final MsReleasedEvent event) {

if(getActiveTool().onMouseUp(event)) return;
for (final ITool tool : getGlobalTools()) {

tool.onMouseUp(event);

}

}
