Select all entities in a particular layer?

[fury]

I would like to be able to identify all entities in a layer once any entity in that layer is selected.

I've tried:

Code: Select all

            Dim Selected As SortedList = CADImage.SelectedEntities
            Dim tmpKey As String
            Dim Line As CADImport.CADEntity
            For Each tmpKey In Selected.Keys
                Line = Selected(tmpKey)

                'For i As Integer = 0 To Line.Layer.Entities.AllValues.Length - 1
                'Dim cadent As CADEntity = Line.Layer.Entities(i)
                'cadent.Selected = True
                'Next

                'the above For generated an exception because Line.Layer.Entities was nothing.
            Next
            If Line Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
            CADImage.AddEntityToSelectCollection(Line.Layer)
            CADImage.DoSelectEntity(Line.Layer)
            DWT.CAD.InvalidateImage()
            CADImage.InvalidateSelectedEntities(CADPict.CreateGraphics)

Any ideas? Thanks very much!

Hello!

Please try the following code (it selects all entities on the layer "0"):

Code: Select all

<font color="blue">Private Sub</font id="blue"> btnSelectEntByLayer_Click(<font color="blue">ByVal</font id="blue"> sender <font color="blue">As</font id="blue"> System.Object, <font color="blue">ByVal</font id="blue"> e <font color="blue">As</font id="blue"> System.EventArgs) Handles btnSelectEntByLayer.Click
    <font color="blue">Dim</font id="blue"> ent <font color="blue">As</font id="blue"> CADEntity
    <font color="blue">Dim</font id="blue"> Cn, I <font color="blue">As Integer

    If Me</font id="blue">.cadImage <font color="blue">Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If</font id="blue">

    Cn = <font color="blue">Me</font id="blue">.cadImage.Converter.Entities.Count

    <font color="blue">For</font id="blue"> I = 0 <font color="blue">To</font id="blue"> Cn - 1
        ent = <font color="blue">Me</font id="blue">.cadImage.Converter.Entities(I)
        <font color="blue">If</font id="blue"> (<font color="blue">Not</font id="blue"> ent.Layer <font color="blue">Is Nothing</font id="blue">) <font color="blue">Then
            If</font id="blue"> (ent.Layer.Name = "0") <font color="blue">Then
                Me</font id="blue">.cadImage.DoSelectEntity(ent)
            <font color="blue">End If
        End If
    Next

    Me</font id="blue">.cadImage.ClearBuffer()
    <font color="blue">Me</font id="blue">.cadPictBox.Invalidate()
<font color="blue">End Sub</font id="blue">
