ExpandLogicalSelection Method
Contents
Description
Adds to the current selection all other objects that are marked as created from a library object, or as a logical group.
Available in version 1.5 or newer.
When you create a layout by placing a library object on a page, the internal group name of the library object get saved in all created objects. By means of that group name, you can tell if objects were created from a library object.
As an extension of the above functionality, it is possible to create a logical group of objects that share the same string key as a group name.
When a single object is selected, it is possible to expand the selection on all the objects with the same key (Page.ExpandLogicalSelection(True)).
When nothing is selected in page and you press and hold Shift while clicking on an object, Fred attempts to select all members (if any)
Syntax
Page.ExpandLogicalSelection (boolFromLibOnly) |
boolFromLibOnly
If True, it will select only objects created from a library object; otherwise, it will select objects belonging to the same logical group
Remarks
If the selected object does not belong to a logical group, the selection is not expanded.
