CommandManager.DoStopPreSelect Method

Parent Object: CommandManager

Description

Method that causes Autodesk Inventor to go through the stop pre-selection protocol, including firing of corresponding event out the active InteractionEvents object if one is active. If a native Autodesk Inventor command is active and is in a selection mode, it gets the stop pre-select notification just like a native stop pre-selection happened. This method is useful when you want to perform picking outside of the graphic window. For example if you have a browser that has icons that represent selectable objects you can cause the selection behavior to happen as the user navigates through your browser and selects objects.
