Select and delete area/region on a sheet (idw) by points

[Anonymous]

Hi,

      sorry for my english. In a vb.net plug-in, I need to delete everything in an area of a sheet (idw).  I know the coordinates of the two points of this area.  How can I select this particular area and delete everythings?

Thanks in advance.

if you want to select things like you would do with mouse clicks then i would not know how. But it looks like you are trying to delete sketched symbols. That i would do with the following code. (Also other things could be delete in a similar way)

Dim doc As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim sheet As Sheet = doc.ActiveSheet

Dim p1 As Point2d = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d(10, 10)
Dim p2 As Point2d = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d(20, 20)

For Each ss As SketchedSymbol In sheet.SketchedSymbols
    Dim ssp As Point2d = ss.Position
    If (p1.X < ssp.X And ssp.X < p2.X And p1.Y < ssp.Y And ssp.Y < p2.Y) Then
        ss.Delete()
    End If
Next

Thanks JelteDeJong,
                                      It helped me to start. It would also be interesting to understand how to erase everything that is contained in the area, not just the sketchedsymbols (texts, dimensions, views, etc).
Thanks a lot anyway.

There is a Sample Program in the online API documentation that goes over how to do Window Selection, but it is for VBA, instead of iLogic.
