geToggleAreaSelectOption( ) - want to be able to set without cycling

Michael Kolesnik

There are 3 selection modes - "enclosed", "crossed", "enclosedAndCrossed"

I want to set the current mode to a variable then set the mode to "enclosedAndCrossed" perform a function then set the mode back to original.

There does not appear to be a way to set it other than cycling thru the choices.

I checked for env settings and there is none that I can see.

    Hi Michael,

    You can use:

    hiGetCurrentWindow()~>fullSelectionMode

    to get the current setting, and use:

    hiGetCurrentWindow()~>fullSelectionMode="enclosedAndCrossed"

    (or similar) to set it.

    So this way you can change it in the current window the way you want. There is the graphic fullSelectionMode cdsenv var, but that only affects new windows, not existing windows. One a window has been opened, you alter this via window properties instead.
