acedSSNameX() returns selection mode 9 with GROUPs

[tbrammer]

According to the docs acedSSNameX() returns the selection mode between 0 and 5 in the first resbuf.

I picked an entity within a GROUP during a selection with acedSSGet(_T("_:N"),NULL,NULL,NULL,sset);

acedSSNameX() returned the selection mode 1 (pickpoint selection) for the picked entity.

For the other entities in the GROUP it returned 9!

Does 9 mean "selected because of GROUP membership"?

Are there more possible values beyond 5? Where are they documented?

Cheers

Here's the complete list from adsdef.h:

enum SelectorType {
    SELECT_TYPE_FREE = 0,
    SELECT_TYPE_PICK,
    SELECT_TYPE_WPOLY,
    SELECT_TYPE_CPOLY,
    SELECT_TYPE_FENCE,
    SELECT_TYPE_SUBENTITY,
    SELECT_TYPE_BAG,
    SELECT_TYPE_LAST,
    SELECT_TYPE_LEAF,
    SELECT_TYPE_GROUP,
    SELECT_TYPE_PASTE,
    SELECT_TYPE_HATCHASC,
    SELECT_TYPE_NRVP,
    SELECT_TYPE_OCCLASS
};

Cool. Thanks.

So we have SELECT_TYPE_GROUP=9. That makes sense.

Are the other values documented?

SELECT_TYPE_BAG,
SELECT_TYPE_LAST,
SELECT_TYPE_LEAF,

SELECT_TYPE_PASTE,
SELECT_TYPE_HATCHASC,
SELECT_TYPE_NRVP,
SELECT_TYPE_OCCLASS
