Object selected banner message

menime54

When an object is selected in my layout, I would like to have a banner on my window showing what object is selected.  I can not figure out how to tell my function that an object is selected.  Is there some sort of a trigger function that says that an object is selected, so that I can use it to call my function that puts the banner of the selected object on my window?

  • The function gets called because the dynamic highlighting needs to know whether to dynamically highlight the object or not - so whether it is potentially selectable or not - the perils of using something which is intended as a selection filter to do something else.

    There is another function which I'm looking into at the moment, but it's currently private (and hence not documented) - I'm currently checking with R&D whether it can be made public (there was an append in the CCR which suggests that R&D consider it public) and then documented. Which version are you using?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
