Trigger on Select/Unselect

J Wilwert
J Wilwert over 16 years ago

Hi,

I am new to the concept of triggers and haven't been able to spend a lot of time doing any detailed research - so right to the point.

I want to execute a bit of skill code when an item is selected/deselected.  Can this be done with the use of a trigger?  Is there an other approach which might be better?  Any ideas anyone?

 Many THANKS in advance,

John Wilwert

     There are SKILL triggers on select, leRegUserLayerSelectionFilter and leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter which are described in a CDNLive paper from 2006. These commands define a SKILL program which returns a t or nil when anything is selected to select or not select the thing. 

    There is no de-select version of these triggers.
