OnScreen select using a window, crossing or polygon

[Anonymous]

Is it not possible to start a selection window during a OnScreen select. In
LISP you simply had to do something like (command "erase" "w" pause pause
"") but the Select and SelectByPolygon are "input only" and SelectOnScreen
doesn't have a option for selection mode. What's up?

Thanks in advanced if you can help.

SelectOnScreen is interactive and can use any of the standard user-initiated
modes you'd get from LISP. As for using Select or SelectByPolygon, what's
the problem there?

The problem is "user-initiated". I want the "OnScreen Select Mode" to be
set to a window, crossing or polygon programatically like in my LISP
example. But I know this isn't LISP, it's VB.

Then don't use SelectOnScreen. Select and SelectByPolyogon both accept
points to determine the selection area. To be honest, I'm still not sure
what it is you're after. If the user is to select objects, use
SelectOnScreen. If you want to select objects without user intervention, use
any other selection method.

SelectAtPoint accepts a single point
Select accepts two points
SelectByPolygon accepts 3 or more in a single array

If your intent is to delete the selected objects, just call the selection
set's Erase method. Perhaps you can share more details.

A combination of GetPoint() and GetCorner() will allow the user to define a window. The object.Select method has a mode setting which may be defined several ways, one of which is acSelectionSetWindow. --Walter

If the user was allowed to pick the points for the selection window, then
there would be no reason to disallow SelectOnScreen.

Andrew are you refering to:

sSet.Select acSelectionSetWindow
or
sSet.Select acSelectionSetWindowPolygon

vs.:

sSet.SelectOnScreen
or
sSet.SelectByPolygon

or are you wanting to erase via a window,,,,sSet.Erase ??????
