[Closed] how filtering the selectbyname function

Aug 01, 2008 2:03 pm

Hi Guys,

i have dummys in the Layer:Name and want only see all dummy in Layer:Name when i use selectByName function.


fn dummy_filt obj = isKindOf obj dummy
dummyPass = selectByName title:"Load Dataset" buttonText:"select" filter:dummy_filt showHidden:true single:true

how can i make a function that give me a true back, then the obj is a dummy in Layer:name?

only all dummys in Layer:Name and dummy.new_variable=defined give back a true.

something in the line of:

(
	fn dummyFilter obj = if classof obj == Dummy and obj.layer.name == "Name" then true else false
	selectByName filter:dummyFilter
)

should do fine, the filter function just returns true or false within it you can do anything you want like normally.
