[mapguide-users] fusion - default tool selected?

[Mike Adair]

Yes if there were new options for the Extension element, these would 
have to be incorporated into Studio/Maestro as a new checkbox, but that 
is a possibility.  In the meantime you will have to go with the init 
function.

There isn't an API documentation link yet (that I know of) but that is a 
task in the Trac for a future release.
