Problem:

I would like to create some custom tool buttons to be included in the ribbon bar and would like to know:

1. the key-in command for tool setting in Pattern Area tools Options: Ignore Interior Shapes, LocateInterior Shapes and Identify Alternating Interior Shapes
2. and for Dynamic Area Locate(toggle);  would like to set the option to be “ON” all the time , what is the key-in for this?

Solution:

1) For Pattern Area, the tool setting options.:

     "Ignore Interior Shapes"                              key in : create region interiorshapes no ;create region flood  

     "LocateInterior Shape"                                 key in : create region interiorshapes yes ;create region flood

     "Identify Alternating Interior Shapes"            key in : create region interiorshapes alternate ;create region flood

2) For the Dynamic Area Locate toggle setting to be “ON” all the time, key in:

    calc tcb->msToolSettings.areaPattern.dynamicArea=1
