Get component name when move mouse on a face

[ngocson8335]

Hello everyone,

I would like to get a component name when moving the mouse without clicking on that face. I tested with watcher events but could not find the right one.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

You can do this by implementing the Commandmanager.UserInputEvent.OnPreselect

You did not mention if you wanted to do this from Ilogic, VBA or .NET addin.

Unless you do it from an addin, you will need a user input to subscribe to such event. In VBA, you would create a class module that implement UserInputEvents

Dim WithEvents oEvents As UserInputEvents

Private Sub Class_Initialize()

    Dim oCommandManager As CommandManager
    Set oCommandManager = ThisApplication.CommandManager
    Set oEvents = oCommandManager.UserInputEvents

End Sub



Private Sub oEvents_OnPreSelect(ByVal PreSelectEntity As Object, DoHighlight As Boolean, MorePreSelectEntities As ObjectCollection, SelectionDevice As SelectionDeviceEnum, ModelPosition As Point, ViewPosition As Point2d, View As View ) 
 

    
    If TypeOf PreSelectEntity Is SurfaceBody Then
  
    
    End If
   
End Sub

Your macro would create a new object of type (class_name).
