filtering selection set with handle

Hi:
I am trying to filter a selctionset objects by the searched objects handle
but the result is always zero although i am sure they are in the drawing
i think i am missing the right dxf code for the object
handle(entity.Handle).I am trying "5" and "DXFCode.Handle" but they don't
work.

Thanks in advance.

Might be wrong here but the lisp ssget help states

"The ssget function recognizes all group codes except entity names
(group -1), handles (group 5), and xdata codes (groups greater than 1000).
If an invalid group code is used in a filter-list, it is ignored by ssget. "

I assume that this will also be the case for any selection set function in
.NET

Correct. This restriction applies to all APIs (lisp, C++, .net).

Thanks for Information.But isn't there a way around to filter a selection
set knowing the handle of the items to be filtered.

Thanks again

You don't filter for handles. Handles are, in the first
place, a way of 'identifying' an object, which means
that if you have the handle, you have the object that
it identifies, so there is no need to filter for them.

I'm not sure what the .NET equivalent is, but in LISP
the (handent) function takes a handle and returns an
entity name.

In ObjectARX, it is AcDbDatabase::getObjectId(), but
I'm not sure if that has a direct counterpart in .NET.

Database.GetObjectId is the .NET function to translate a Handle to an
ObjectId.

Nevermind - It's in the ObjectARX docs.

For those interested, this is how you can get an
ObjectId given a string representation of a handle:

public static ObjectId ObjectIdFromHandle(Database db, string strHandle)
{
Int32 nHandle = Int32.Parse(strHandle, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
Handle handle = new Handle(nHandle);
return db.GetObjectId(false, handle, 0);
}

Can anyone break this down into a step by step procedure as to how a "non-programmer" type would go about selecting an object, knowing its handle.

I am using Civil 3D 2007 SP2. I am getting errors when I save to the effect of:
*Warning* Multiply owned object, handle "A1B2"

So I want to be able to list the offending objects and decide if they need to be deleted.

really?In .NET,Yes the handle(group 5)can't used to filter, but the xdata code 1001 do. I hava the test code below, and I can got the entity filtered by code 1001, here is the code:

C# code:
TypedValue[] tv = { new TypedValue(1001, "Instrument") };
SelectionFilter sf = new SelectionFilter(tv);
PromptSelectionResult pr = ed.SelectAll(sf);
the text in dxf file:
1001
Instrument
1000
This is a test string

is anything different?or acturally the group 1001 can be used to fileter in .NET.
I used ObjectARX2008.
