Clear Selection on screen OR Select none

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:21:38 GMT

--Or you can just PInvoke acedSSSetFirst, which is what
the SelectObjects() method does.--

My limited training materials does not tell me how to get the acedsssetfirst selection set, I want to clear it out.

I used:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.SelectObjects(ids);

to get some objects for zooming, and now I want to un-select them for the user to move on.

In vba i could get a selection set by name from a group of selection sets in the drawing. Can I do that in .net?

Thanks,

jvj

Hi,

Would anyone have a solution for this? I can't find a solution elsewhere.

SendingString cancels my current command. And trying to set a selection set with Nothing in it creates an error.

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute(Chr(27), False, False, False)

psr = Nothing

ed.SetImpliedSelection(psr.Value)

I did try something similar but it also didn't work.

'Dim arOBJIDS(0) As ObjectId
'arOBJIDS(0) = Nothing
'ed.SetImpliedSelection(arOBJIDS)

Thanks once again!!

HI,

>> I did try something similar but it also didn't work.

>> Dim arOBJIDS(0) As ObjectId

you have an array declared with one item, I did declare an array with 0 items, that's the difference.

Anyway, good to hear it's working now for you!
