Make the shape selected after drawing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Draw the shape.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It's much more convenient to have the shape auto-selected (and the tool 
changed to 'pointer') after drawing. What for?
To make the new shape configurable through properties (fill, stroke), to 
allow dragging it instantly after creation.

Well, this is something more specific to a certain application, but the code is 
simple, 
just add:
{{{

editor.on("addedshape",function(shape){
//change interface here to select tool
editor.setMode("select");
editor.select(shape)
})

}}}

This doesn't work.
The event is fired when the shape is created, the mode is changed and future 
mouse 
moves do not scale/draw the shape.
The mouseup event doesn't look appropriate too as it's fired before the main 
processing.
Generally, I think that the events should be fired after they are tracked by 
the main 
code. Or two events (beforemousemove and mousemove, for example) can be used, 
and if 
some of the before- event listeners return false, the main processing should 
abort.

not working for me as well following code just enabled select mode as 
addedshape called before drawing any object please provide the solution for this

editor.on("addedshape", function(event, shape, no_select){

  editor.setMode("select");
  editor.select(shape); 

});
