Hello,

first thanks for your answer i began to despair.

I already have implemented the ToolProvider interface and her 4 methods. Its
works but when i click on the tool it would not be selected. but if i remove
"mainmap.{$tool->id}('map');" from toolbar.tpl it could be selected but
nothing occurs (off course).do you think this could be because i don't have
write the javascript methods yet? could you give me more details on the way
to implement the javascript methods? I'm a little bit confused.

thanks in advance

Jonathan
