<span class="extends"> Extends <a href="../symbols/Tool.html" class="linkConstructor">Tool</a>.</span> The ActionTool is responsible for handling and dispatching mouse events on <a

This is how one implements "controls", such as buttons or sliders or knobs, as <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html" class="linkConstructor">GraphObject</a>s that can be inside <a href="../symbols/Part.html" class="linkConstructor">Part</a>s without interfering with the standard tool behaviors. <p> This tool allows individual GraphObjects (usually Panels) to handle mouse-down-move-up events without having to define new <a href="../symbols/Tool.html" class="linkConstructor">Tool</a>s. It does this by calling <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html#actionDown" class="linkProperty">GraphObject.actionDown</a>, <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html#actionMove" class="linkProperty">GraphObject.actionMove</a>, <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html#actionUp" class="linkProperty">GraphObject.actionUp</a>, and <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html#actionCancel" class="linkProperty">GraphObject.actionCancel</a> on objects that have <a href="../symbols/GraphObject.html#isActionable" class="linkProperty">GraphObject.isActionable</a> set to true. <p> This tool is a standard mouse-down tool, the <a href="../symbols/ToolManager.html#actionTool" class="linkProperty">ToolManager.actionTool</a>. <p> This tool does not utilize any <a href="../symbols/Adornment.html" class="linkConstructor">Adornment</a>s or tool handles.
