How to select/highlight an attribute in the channelBox?

[mcw0]

According to the docs, the "select" option should do the trick.  But I'm having no luck.

channelBox -e -s "tx" mainChannelBox;

That will clear any current selection but doesn't make the new selection.  It doesn't error or complain.  Just nothing.  Anyone know how to highlight attributes in the channelBox via command?

UGH!!!  Because "channelBox -q -sma mainChannelBox" returns the nice name of attributes, I thought I didn't need to specify the actual node name.  But this works:

channelBox -e -s "locator1.tx" mainChannelBox;

Hi!

@mcw0 

There is an error in your first script, you missed the dot before the attribute.

When the objects is selected the following works:

channelBox -e -s ".tx" mainChannelBox;

mspeer, thank you for that info.  I would never have thought to add the ".".
