ITouchTool.IsActive Method

IsActive()
Indicates if the touch tool is currently tracking any touch points.Syntax
public System.Boolean IsActive ()Return Value
True if the touch tool is tracking any touch points; False otherwise.
Remarks
This method exists so that map controls can ignore regular mouse and keyboard events while there are active track points. This is done for two reasons:
To prevent other users from interfering with touch input by grabbing the mouse or hitting keys on the keyboard while, for example, someone is moving an object on a multi-touch screen.
Some platforms synthesize mouse events for the primary touch point and these events should not be handled by a regular tool when a touch tool is connected to a map control.
This means that custom touch tool implementations should return True as long as there are active touch points and only return False when there no active touch points.
