Topic: PromptNestedEntityOptions exclude object

[latour_g]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to exclude objects when using PromptNestedEntityOptions ? The issue is I want to select attributes but when there is hatch under it, it doesn't work or sometime it does work and sometime it doesn't work, depending of the picked point on the attribute.

So I would like the hatch to be ignore or only the attributes to be include. 

Or would there be another way to select attribute with a picked point ?

Code - C#: [Select]

1.                         PromptNestedEntityOptions pneo = new PromptNestedEntityOptions("");
2.                         pneo.AllowNone = false;
3.                         pneo.UseNonInteractivePickPoint = true;
4.                         pneo.NonInteractivePickPoint = per.PickedPoint;
5.                         PromptNestedEntityResult pner = ed.GetNestedEntity(pneo);
6.                         if (pner.ObjectId == ObjectId.Null) return;
7.                         DBObject obj = tr.GetObject(pner.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite);
8.                         AttributeReference ar = obj as AttributeReference;
9.  

Thank you

Have tried something like

Code: [Select]

foreach (ObjectId id in pner.GetContainers())
            {

             // check if attribute

            }

Haven't tested this, but you could try SelectionAddedEventHandler, example here: https://www.keanw.com/2011/08/preventing-autocad-objects-from-being-selected-using-net.html

Jeff H : I was full of hope but unfortunately GetContainers() only contains the hatch. 

Chumplybum : Thanks I will check if I can use that.

I will come back if I found a solution.

Thanks to both of you !
