How to see if a curve in VIEW is selected or not using script?

[mrme]

Hi,

I want to determine (using script) if a curve in VIEW has been selected.  I use this:-

msgbox View.ActiveSheet.ActiveArea.DisplayObj.Curves2D(1).Selected

but the result is FALSE.  I understand 'selected' to mean the curve has been selected by placing a dot as shown here:-

but obviously I am missing something...could someone explain why my line of script does not work as I expected?

Thank you!

Hello mrme,

The curve with the blck dot is the so called Leading Curve.

msgbox View.ActiveSheet.ActiveArea.DisplayObj.Curves2D.LeadingCurve.YChannelName

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the fast response....but I am confused as to what '.Selected' does. 

What does Selected' mean ?

What would one use it for?

How do I select a curve in a plot?

kind regards,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

If you click on left or right grey area in the legend you can select (mark) one or more curves and delete or drag & drop them.

The leading curve marks the curve for the focus of the cursor.
