How to get selected pins of the instance

Hi All

I want to get the selected pins of an instance in the schematic by skill script.

After selecting the pins, the "geGetSelSet()" returns nil.

I take a look in the post, and find this question has been asked in "Objects selected in schematic, but car(selectedSet()) returns Nil"

Unfortunately, the script in the reply does not tell how to get selected pins, it treats all the pins from the selected instance.

As I want to only use part of pins from an instance as an input for my code, it's highly appreciated if someone can provide an answer.

P.S I notice that the API "schHiCreateWireStubs()" can take selected pins as input, also the "Property Editor" also react for such selection. I was wondering what is the correct function to visit the selected set in the database.

Best Regards

Yi
