How can I display the selection window in AutoCAD?

How can I display the selection window in AutoCAD?

(OP)
In AutoCAD, if you are going to select a group of objects to move/erase, an expanding selection window is displayed as you move the cursor from the first picked point to the second point to allow the user to visualize the entities that fall within the selected area. How do I get this expanding window for the user when programming in VBA?

RE: How can I display the selection window in AutoCAD?

Hi jrice174,

You'll want to check out the AcadSelectionSet to see how to use it, but in short:

CODE

Sub SelectStuff()
  Dim ss As AcadSelectionSet
  
  ss.SelectOnScreen
  ...
  ..
End Sub
