User select window

[wang890]

how do you make user do a selection in VB.NET such as the one we normally select in drawing: crossing or windowed? see picture. is there an object model for this type of selection so i can read the property such as the coordinate for the window corners as well as the object collection under it?

thank you

Look into "Jig".

The drafters I work with very often have to find/select entities within a
circle of certain radius. So, I create a DrawJig as visual aid for user to
pick a point and drag a circle to desired radius. When the drag is done, my
"Select" method returns a Point2d (center) and a double (radius) that I can
use to search entities/data.

In your case, you can use Jig to draw a rectangle. When the drag is done,
you get all the polyline's vertice (Point3ds) that you can use with
Editor.SelectWindow()/SelectCrossingWindow() methods. It is up to you to do
fancy visual effect with the rectangle drawn in Jig.
