Is there a way to easily represent a combination of flags (for example for object types in ObjectsByType method) into a single hexadecimal value that can be provided into the method?
For example, I want 4+8+16 - can I instead provide a single &H… value for that combo?
You can run ObjectsByType(4+8+16) or whatever and it runs fine - don’t even need to use ObjectsByType(28)… Works for all filtering stuff, been using it for years… --Mitch
Thanks Mitch - I was actually always using the 1+2+… version - for the first time today ran into a need to have a single number, and got stupid for a second !
since it belongs to this topic, you can as well find out if one object type is part of some added types using the function below:
Option Explicit
Call Main()
Sub Main()
Dim x, y
x = 8
y = 28
Rhino.Print IsObjTypeInside(x, y)
End Sub
Public Function IsObjTypeInside(ByRef objType, ByRef addedTypes)
If (addedTypes And objType) Then
IsObjTypeInside = True
Else
IsObjTypeInside = False
End If
End Function
