[mapguide-users] fusion - default tool selected?

[Mike Adair]

Andrew,

Testing that code snippet doesn't work for me because the 
activateWidget() method is only defined on the MapWidget.

A more generic solution for this would be to add an 
<Activated>true</Activated> element for widgets in the 
ApplicationDefinition file.  Currently there is a <Disabled> property 
for widgets to disable widgets on startup, this would be something similar.
