Multiple selection inputs

[p_krola]

My Add in has two SelectionInputs. I have a problem checking which SelectionInput has been selected. How do I use activeInput ()? 

class MySelectHandler : public SelectionEventHandler
{
public:
	void notify(const Ptr<SelectionEventArgs>& eventArgs) override
	{
		if (!eventArgs)
			return;
		Ptr<Selection> selection = eventArgs->selection();
		if (!checkReturn(selection))
			return;


		// Get the value of the property.
		Ptr<SelectionCommandInput> propertyValue = selection->activeInput();

Hi @p_krola ,

You can get the ID of the commandInput that fires the event with the id() property like so:

selection->activeInput()->id()

It returns a string.

The function at SelectionEventHandler generates an error:

_app->log(selection->activeInput()->id());
E0135 class "adsk::core::Selection" has no member "activeInput"

I can get inputId from InputChangedEventHandler, but that doesn't solve my problem. 

Ptr<CommandInput> changedInput = eventArgs->input();
std::string activeInput = changedInput->id();

Hi,

I made a mistake in the previous answer.

It is like so:

Ptr<SelectionCommandInput> cmdInput = eventArgs->activeInput();
string id = cmdInput->id()

Lets try it.

I also recently ran into this problem. It seems there's a bug with the activeInput property. The workaround I ended up using is to check the hasFocus property of each of the SelectionCommandInput objects on my dialog. The one where this is true is the one that they are using.
