Drag select and move view screen

Hi,

 Is there a way that i can drag select and move view screen using left and right button?

In virtuoso layout, the drag select function doesn't accomodate with left right button. I set a bindkey to solve this issue,but not really fulfill the requirement. Please advice. Thanks

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>q" "geSelectArea(hiGetCurrentWindow())")

    It's pretty unclear what you're asking here - I don't understand your question.

    If you have:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<DrawThru1>" "geSingleSelectBox()")

    does that do what you want? Otherwise you'll really have to clarify your question...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi,

    Unless I am mistaken, you wish to perform an "area select" and be able to pan the window at the same time using the left or right arrow keys.

    SourceLink Solution 11236904 was written for this exact problem, which is essentially the solution that Andrew suggested above, and your own solution - do neither of these work?  If not, why or how are they not meeting your needs?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hi,

    Ya... both of the solution works. :D

    The bindkey <DrawThru1> works fine. Thanks
