Catia VBA: Select objects by "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap"

Catia VBA: Select objects by "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap"

Catia VBA: Select objects by "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap"

(OP)
Is there a function in CATIA VBA to select objects by using "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap" method?

RE: Catia VBA: Select objects by "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap"

(OP)
Dear Ferdo, the solution is fine if I need to give user the choice of selection.
But here I want to feed the diagonal points of rectangular selection thru code.
Let me explain what I am trying for.
I have coordinates of a point and I want to select the point with smallest possible rectangular trap (yes with crossing rectangular trap), which in turn selects a Surface, whose name needs to be captured and reported in excel.
Or is there a way to check if a point is exactly on a selected surface?
Or is it possible to check the nearest possible point near a surface?

RE: Catia VBA: Select objects by "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap"

you can always check the distance point-surface
