bool

MKI_PenSetBaseMode(

__int32 f_nMode );

Sets a new base mode for pens in the current drawing window.

Parameters

Mode

[__int32] This value determines the way all pens behave. It can be a bit-wise OR combination of multiple modes (see MKI_BASEMODE_*).

Return Value

Returns true if successful, false if not.

Comment

When switching pens to passive by means of MKI_BASEMODE_PASSIVE, you might want to switch all property and extended property dialogs to their small version by calling MKI_SettingSet twice for modes MKI_SETTING_SMALLDLG_PROP and MKI_SETTING_SMALLDLG_XPROP and a value of true. The application lets the user permanently block changes by those modes, so do not rely on such a change to have an effect!
