Topic: How do i get selectionset with a specific name?

[Rusel]

Hello,
I am new to .net and used vba for years.
In vba I was creating a selectionset with a name in a sub and able to get it somewhere else with its name and use it like:

Dim Sset As SelectionSet = doc.SelectionSets.Item("myselectionset")

How can I do this in .net?
Thanks,

Hi,

Why do you need a name?, the managed API selection set class hasn't a name property for an instance of a selection set. You have a variable which contains the selection set, that's it.

You'd need to create an object to hold all the selection sets, if you don't need this defined outside of the current document scope then just add a dictionary to your command class. If you need it shared across documents then declare it static.

Code - C#: [Select]

1. public Commands
2. {
3.    Dictionary<string, SelectionSet> SelectionSets = new Dictionary<string, SelectionSet>();
4.  
5.    public void DoStuff()
6.    {
7.       ~~~
8.       SelectionSet ss = ed.GetSelection();
9.       SelectionSets.add("DoStuffSet",ss);
10.       ~~~      
11.    }
12.    public void DoThings()
13.    {
14.       ~~~
15.       SelectionSet ss = SelectionSets["DoStuffSet"];
16.       ~~~  
17.    }
18. }
