ive got an object
BaseObject *x
its of type
Oselection
so I want to restore this selection.
I start looking for some ways to do this , but this seems very cloudy.
I look in the Oselection.h for some clues and find
SELECTIONOBJECT_LIST = 1000,
SELECTIONOBJECT_RESTORE = 1001 // virtual ID
then I look in the Oselection.res and find
BUTTON SELECTIONOBJECT_RESTORE { }
IN_EXCLUDE SELECTIONOBJECT_LIST {bla bla}
it would be nice if i could send a message to click the button :) but i soubt this very much.
so im left with IN_EXCLUDE data type.
I look in SDK help for some clue how top extract the list of object from this data type and there is no clue.
so I ask here , how can i get activate an Oselection and its contents , as if i had pressed its restore selection button.or at least get the list of object so i can activate them by hand.
cheers

Shouldn´t it work like this to restore the selection:
BaseContainer \*bc = so->GetDataInstance(); bc->SetBool(1002,1);

Hmm, you are right, I just tried it out. I tried to get the GeDataType of it but that didn´t work either. I receive DA_NIL when using SELECTIONOBJECT_RESTORE and the default case appears when using the SELECTIONOBJECT_LIST data:
BaseContainer *bc = so->GetDataInstance(); GeDataType p = bc->GetType(SELECTIONOBJECT_LIST); switch(p) { case DA_NIL: GePrint("NULL"); break; case DA_LONG: GePrint("long"); break; case DA_REAL: GePrint("real"); break; case DA_VECTOR: GePrint("vector"); break; case DA_MATRIX: GePrint("matrix"); break; case DA_BYTEARRAY: GePrint("bytearray"); break; case DA_STRING: GePrint("string"); break; case DA_FILENAME: GePrint("filename"); break; case DA_CONTAINER: GePrint("container"); break; case DA_ALIASLINK: GePrint("aliaslink"); break; case DA_MARKER: GePrint("marker"); break; case DA_MISSINGPLUG: GePrint("missingplug"); break; case DA_CUSTOMDATATYPE: GePrint("customdatatype"); break; default: GePrint("nothing"); break; }But I guess this is all wrong too. I guess maybe creating an inclusion table and using it to get the objects from the list could work. But I haven´t been useing it yet.
InclusionTable *BuildInclusionTable(BaseDocument *doc, LONG hierarchy_bit = NOTOK);
I would really like to know too how to use it. Hopefully Mikael will clear this out tommorrow.

ok all sorted.
I just needed to extract the custom data type from the container

Glad you worked it out. Otherwise this is the way to push a button:
BaseObject* obj = doc->GetFirstObject(); if (!obj || obj->GetType() != Oselection) return FALSE; DescriptionCommand dc; dc.id = DescLevel(SELECTIONOBJECT_RESTORE); obj->Message(MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND, &dc); EventAdd();

hey , great stuff Mikael :)
to extract the selection from the the container i made this little function
it assumes that your sending a valid Oselection type to it.
void DoMultiSelect(BaseObject *oplink)
{
BaseContainer *data=oplink->GetDataInstance();
InExcludeData *list=(InExcludeData* )data->GetCustomDataType(SELECTIONOBJECT_LIST,CUSTOMDATATYPE_INEXCLUDE_LIST);
LONG list_cnt=list->GetObjectCount();
BaseObject *listop=NULL;
if (list_cnt)
{
oplink->DelBit(BIT_ACTIVE);
for (LONG lc=0;lc<list_cnt;lc++)
{
listop=(BaseObject* )list->ObjectFromIndex(oplink->GetDocument(),lc);
listop->SetBit(BIT_ACTIVE);
}
}
else oplink->SetBit(BIT_ACTIVE);
EventAdd(EVMSG_BROWSERCHANGE);
}
the new customdatatype in basecontainer seems to be the key to lots of interesting things!!!
cheers
