Wanted to know which kind of object is selected

d_selSet = car( geGetSelSet( ) )

if( d_selSet~>objType == "inst" then
    printf( "Instance selected\n" )
else
    printf( "Instance not selected\n" )
)

 Thanks Bernd. Hope i can do the same to find the other types of item(say path or polygons etc..)

Consider 'geGetSelSet' takes a list of elements, you can have more than
on element selected.

l_selSet = geGetSelSet( )
x_elemsInList = length( l_selSet )

cond(
    ;; one object is selected go and print which object type
    ( onep( x_elemsInList )
    ;; pick the first and only element from the list of selected sets
    d_selSet = car( l_selSet )
        ;; distinguish between object types and print      
        case( d_selSet~>objType
            ( "inst"
                printf( "Instance selected\n" )
            )
            ( "path"
            printf( "Path selected\n" )
            )
        ( t
            printf( "Other object selected\n" )
        )
        ) ;; close case   
    )
    ( zerop( x_elemsInList )
        printf( "No object is selected!\n" )
    )
    ( t
        printf( "More than one object is selected!\n" )
    )
) ;; close cond
