Example

#include "DRFLEx.h"
using namespace DRAFramework;

int main() {
    CDRFLEx drfl;

    // Retrieve the name of the currently active tool shape
    string activeShape = drfl.get_tool_shape();

    if (activeShape.empty())
        printf("No tool shape is currently active.\n");
    else
        printf("Current tool shape: %s\n", activeShape.c_str());
}

This example checks the currently active tool shape in the controller and prints its name to the console. If no shape is active, it displays a corresponding message.
