--------- 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 Paul

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. Best Samir

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

could you tell me how you did at last? thx Samir

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 Paul

Great. Thanks for explaining Paul! And thanks to Mikael for the button thing. :) Best Samir
