TCL command to select value in object properties filter list.

Hi,

I am looking at writing a tcl script to change the edit object properties filter list in Capture. My objective is give all users a modified list of views that correspond to the bom properties of our various customers.
In the command window I can see that the capture command MenuCommand "14860" will open the object properties list from the selected design. The problem is that when I select a new filter from the drop down list the corresponding command is not shown in the command window. All subsequent commands to modify, add or delete filters are shown. I don't know if it is possible to do this invisibly.
At this point I am not sure whether it is better to continue modifying each users prefprops.txt file in their $userprofile directory or to write a start file in tcl. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks,
Jim O'Mahony
