MarkupTool.flyover is returned.
englishKeyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the English keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json").
flyover Accessor ReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the localized flyover string from this Tool's class
flyover Accessor StaticReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the localized flyover for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".flyover" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,
MarkupTool.keyin is returned.
hidden Static boolean MarkupTool If true, this Tool will not appear in the list from getToolList.
iconSpec Accessor ReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the iconSpec from this Tool's class.
iModel Accessor ReadOnly IModelConnection MarkupTool Get the iModel on which this tool operates.

keyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the localized keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json").
markup Markup MarkupTool  
maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number MarkupTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by MarkupTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.
If subclasses override MarkupTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximum
number of arguments their implementation expects.
minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number MarkupTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by MarkupTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override MarkupTool.parseAndRun, they should also
override this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can use
this information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute.
namespace Static string MarkupTool The namespace that provides localized strings for this Tool.
receivedDownEvent boolean MarkupTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event.
targetIsLocked boolean MarkupTool  
targetModelId Accessor undefined | string MarkupTool  
targetView undefined | Viewport MarkupTool The viewport within which the tool operates.
toolId Accessor ReadOnly string MarkupTool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localize
