Highlight Entity

[Techno Destructo]

How do you highlight an object without specifying the "FullSubEntitypath"?
I want to highlight the entire object not sub entities.

Object.Highlight()

Thanks for the reply.
I cannot seem to do what you have specified.
the only Highligh function Ican find in the ObjectARX 2006 document, "arxref.chm" is the following:

virtual Acad::ErrorStatus
highlight(
const AcDbFullSubentPath& subId = kNullSubent,
const Adesk::Boolean highlightAll = false) const;

subId Input AcDbFullSubentPath that identifies the subentity to highlight
highlightAll Input Boolean indicating whether to highlight in all viewports

Now it says "If no AcDbFullSubentPath argument is provided, then the entire entity will be highlighted."
The only thing is, it dosent tell you how you can NOT enter in a FullSubentpath.

You can find it in 2007 ;-). Here is a sample for 2006.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Entity tmpEnt = (Entity)myT.GetObject(entid, OpenMode.ForRead);

//highlight the entity

ObjectId[] ids = new ObjectId[1];

ids[0] = entid;

SubentityId index = new SubentityId(SubentityType.Edge, 0);

FullSubentityPath path = new FullSubentityPath(ids, index);

tmpEnt.Highlight(path, true);

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
