Use mouse to select an instance during a procedure

RVERP

In the middle of a procedure I want to select an object in the layout, hit enter, and continue with the procedure. I want to do a geGetSelSet() on the selected items.

Is there a procedure to do this kind of action?

  • The easiest way to achieve this is to use an 'enter function' such as enterPoints() or enterBox() to provide a way to enter and collect the selection from the design window and you can use the enter function callback/ flow of control to perform the next action(s) once the selection is complete. The enter function provides the capability so that a function can be called when each point is entered, delete and for when the points are done being entered, for example (for the enterPoints() function, for example).

    Hopefully this helps you with your task.

  • Hi Lawrence,

    Thanks for your reply. The enter function wasn't really what I was looking for. The return of this function, just a coordinate, was not really useful.
    But it did pointed out the way for me in the manual to what I was needing :). The function geSelectSinglePoint(), followed by geGetSelSet(), did exactly what I wanted.

    Best,

    Rik
