Description

Activate is called when the edit task is set as the current edit task either programmatically using the IEngineEditor::CurrentTask property, or interactively by the end user selecting the edit task using the ControlsEditingTaskToolControl

Use the Activate method to reference the EngineEditor object and modify the editing environment before an edit sketch is started. For example, use the IEngineEditSketch::GeometryType property to ensure the geometry sketch is a polyline regardless of the IEngineEditLayers::CurrentLayer geometry type.
