Detect if shape is selected

davidnhutch

Hi,

I can iterate over selected shapes like this:

layout_view.each_object_selected { |sel| ... }

However how do I detect if a given object (shape or cell) is selected? I don't see an .is_selected? method.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

that is not possible and there is a reason for this: a selection is not just a shape or instance. It is a shape or instance plus an instantiation path. That means, a shape cannot know by itself whether it is selected or not, because it might be selected in one instance, but not in other instances.
