Issue selecting and unselecting ops

[cncah]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if there is an API call that I'm missing when trying to unselect certain ops. I'm adding to a custom VB.Net Nethook.

I'm looping through the list of operations and trying to unselect certain ones with this code:

Dim ops As Array = Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetOperations().ToArray

If ops.Length = 0 Then Exit Sub

For i As Integer = 0 To UBound(ops)
    Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation = CType(ops(i), Mastercam.Database.Operation)
    If Not op Is Nothing Then
       If op.Type = 4 Then
          op.Selected = True
       Else
          op.Selected = False
       End If
       op.Commit()
    End If
Next i

Problem I'm running into is if I call op.Commit() then it marks the ops I want to unselect dirty. If I leave the op.Commit() code out then the code doesn't do anything.

Am I missing something?

Try adding a regenerate after each op.Commit

Thanks Mick. I had thought about that but I figured that might cause extra processing time especially if there were a lot of 3D toolpaths. Here is what I ended up with:

For i As Integer = 0 To UBound(ops)
   Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation = CType(ops(i), Mastercam.Database.Operation)
   If Not op Is Nothing Then
      If op.Type = 4 Then
         If op.Selected = False Then
            op.Selected = True
            op.Commit()
            op.Regenerate()
         End If
      Else
         If op.Selected = True Then
            op.Selected = False
            op.Commit()
            op.Regenerate()
         End If
      End If
   End If
Next i

I tried to only call the operation's change in selection if it was needed to keep the regenerate time to a minimum.

Thanks again.
