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.
