Hello,

I have a problem with the ObjectPicker function. When I select objects the objectslist keeps empty!?

function foo ()
{
var objectpicker = moi.ui.createObjectPicker();
objectpicker.allowCurves();
GetObjects(objectpicker);

moi.UI.alert(objectpicker.objects.length, "objects");
if(objectpicker.objects.length===0){
...

What I'm doing wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten - your existing script there should work ok if you prepick your objects, that means to select your objects before you run your script.

If you want to also support post-pick, where it will let you pick objects after the command is started if nothing was selected, then you need to also set up some .htm UI that has a "Done" and "Cancel" button on it. This is because when you right-click to finish selecting objects in the object picker, the rules that the right-click mechanism follows is that if there is a "Done" button it's the same as clicking the "Done" button. If no "Done" button exists, it looks for a "Cancel" button and triggers that. If neither of those UI elements exist, it will then do a cancel which is what is probably triggering for you.

Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunateli I can't make a html with the same name. So I will try getObject instead of getObjects. It seams that it don't need a html to work:-)
Nevertheless - I will never understand that html-stuff ...

Thanks again
and
have a nice day
Karsten
