Skill script for creating a selactable area

RFStuff

 Dear All,

For selecting an object we use "leSelBoxOrStretch()". This happens automatically if one does a left click on the mouse and releases it. The created virtual rectangular area selects the object inside it. This way it becomes difficult to accurately select the objects as the objects may not be accomodated in the zoomed area.

So what I actually want is as  follows:-

I will click ( left click in the mouse)  one point ( this will be let's say one corner of the rectangle), then I will go to other corner of the desired area and click the mouse and will fix the other diagonal corner of the rectangle. Then the objects which arefully coming inder this area will be selected.

Could anybody please tell, how it can be done.

Kind Regards,

    Dear Andrew,

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

    In 2nd query I was not clear in presenting what I want.

    I have my leBindKeys in two files as written in the .cdsinit file as below:-

    a) load(prependInstallPath("samples/local/leBindKeys.il"))

    b) load("/home/../work_directory/leBindKeys.il")

    I want to use Shift-F5 key for one task. So I added 

    bk("Layout" "Shift<Key>F5"  "CCSprotect->protectSelected()") in my /home/../work_directory/leBindKeys.il file.

    But after reinvoking icfb it turns out that when I press "Shift F5", the command "deOpen()" gets implemented. Then I went to the file " samples/local/leBindKeys.il" and disable the bindkey set for deOpen(). The key F5 was used for this command. After reinvoking Icfb, when I press Shift F5 still the above command gets executed in CIW.

    Is there any other file from where layout editor gets the bindKey information ?

    I wonder why this happening. Could please tel what is the caus.

    Kind Regards,
