SelectObjects event does not fire when selecting grips

Hi all.
@dale

As title, SelectObjects does not fire when selecting grips.
(but works fine when selecting other normal geometries…)

In this example, OnSelectObjects() is not being called when selecting grips

Rhino.RhinoDoc.SelectObjects += OnSelectObjects;

void OnSelectObjects(object sender, RhinoObjectSelectionEventArgs args){ ... }

Any workarounds? Am I doing something wrong?

I’m working for a custom gumball for grips…

Hi @maje90,

Because of their transient nature, selecting grip objects does not trigger a RhinoDoc.SelectObjects.

For gumball-type stuff, use PickContext.

Hi Dale, thanks for the answer.
I remember I’ve explored that sample, but it is still using the internal gumball method, with 3 rigid orthogonal arrows… correct?

I’m near to finish this:

I have the foreground UI elements, clickable and all.

My problem is that now, … how to detect when grips are selected?
I can only constantly loop through selected object list and check for changes, which probably is badly optimized, a bad idea…
