I tried that method however the icon on the toolbar just toggles, and
does not stay depressed. It also does not act as a tool, the current
tool is still selected, I need for the icon to behave as a tool and I
need notification when the tool is clicked, before the image is
clicked. Can anyone think of any way to do this?
Thanks for any ideas you can provide.
