## Detailed Description

Selection state information used in MPxSurfaceShapeUI::select.

MSelectInfo is used with user defined shape selection and is passed as an argument to the MPxSurfaceShapeUI::select method. This class encapsulates all the selection state information for selected objects.

Examples:

  apiMeshShapeUI.cpp, apiMeshShapeUI.h, apiSimpleShapeUI.cpp, apiSimpleShapeUI.h, and quadricShape.cpp.

`#include <MSelectInfo.h>`

Search for all occurrences

Adds components or objects to the active selection list.

For an example of how this is used please refer to the method definition apiMeshShapeUI::select() in the devkit example code apiMeshShape.cpp.

Parameters:

  [in] | item | The component or object to add to the list
  [in] | point | The world space point representing the selected object. This is used during single-click selection when the click overlaps multiple objects in order to determine which point is closest to the camera.
  [out] | list | The selection list to add the item(s) to
  [out] | points | A copy of the points of all currently selected components in the list (if components are selected)
  [in] | mask | Mask used to determine selection priority
  [in] | isComponent | Indicates whether item to be added is an object or a component

bool setSnapPoint | ( | const MPoint & | point | ) |

Search for all occurrences

When a snapping operation is being performed the shape's overridden MPxSurfaceShapeUI::snap() method can call this method to set the point to be snapped to.

If setSnapPoint() is called multiple times then the point passed in which is nearest to the current cursor location will be used. So the shape can either compute the snap point itself and call setSnapPoint() once or it can make a series of calls and let setSnapPoint() determine the closest of those for itself.

Remarks:
  The point must be given in world space coordinates..

Parameters:

  [in] | point | The point to be snapped to

Returns:
  - true the point is closer
  - false the point isn't closest

MDagPath selectPath | ( |  | ) | const

Search for all occurrences

Returns a path to the item that is being selected.

Returns:
  A path to the item being selected

const char * className | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

Search for all occurrences

Returns the name of this class.

Returns:
  Name of this class.
