need help with three skill commands...please!

boomme

I have what I  3   questions.

question 1...

for the skill command...    dbSetShapeColorLocked(d_shapeID    g_setLocked)

what are the values for the variable g_SetLocked ?

(I am trying to unlock the shape's colors so I can make a hotkey toggle to switch colors.)

question 2...

what is the skill command to highlight a single shape?

question 3...

I am trying to use the following common: dbIsShapeColorLocked(obj)

where obj is a shape ID... as in: 

sel = geGetSelSet()

foreach(obj sel

if(dbIsShapeColorLocked(obj) == "t" 

...

the dbIsShapeColorLocked command does not seem to be returning "t" or "nil" but rather a database ID like:

db:0x7838b470

any idea why?

Thanks for any and all help!

  • Thanks Andrew.

    I don't use finder very much because of the limited amount of help available, I may use it to get a listing of potential commands -> geHi* and then look in cdnshelp for more detail.

    I forgot about enabling the hilight set, I have encapsulated the hilight commands so I can highlight an object and it will create the hilight set without an explicit call.

    The enable action is hilightId->enable = t

    If you create a non global set you have to push the hilight set with gePushHilightStack(hilightId)
