GWP GetSelectedElementsInLayer()

Hi,

I tried this method on my side and it works fine.  There is a typo in your question; It should be GetSelectedElementsInLayer().  The letter "c" is missing.

Here is the code I used to test:

       function getSelectedElementsInLayer (layerName)

           {

           try

               {

       var elementIds = "";

                       var selectedElemVBArray = document.MapViewerControl.GetSelectedElementsInLayer(layerName);

var selectedElemArray = selectedElemVBArray.toArray();

if (selectedElemArray.length > 0)

       {

elementIds = elementIds + "----- " + layerName + " -----\n";

}

for (var j = 0; j < selectedElemArray.length; j++)

{

elementIds = elementIds + "Id:" + selectedElemArray[j] + "\n";

}

                       if (elementIds != "")

                           alert(elementIds);

                       else

                           alert("No element selected!");

               }

           catch (errorObject)

               {

               alert ("Cannot get selected elements in the layer " + layerName + "\n\n" + errorObject.description);

               }

           }

I tested with PNG and DPR point cells.

Still having a problem. I can either use the iDPR converter or automated iDPR and the same issue exists. In MStation I can look at the information on the elements and the mslink is right, I can cofirm the links and locate the elements from the link. In GWP I can use the tool tip to show mslink and it's correct, and I can locate the element with mslink. But, if I select the element with GetSelectedElementsInLayer using your code - "no element selected". The dgn was created with Bentley Map. Previous dgns from Geographics work fine in the same GWP map. This is a huge problem and I'm out of time. Any help is very much appreciated!

They MUST be active cells to work
