To all

This question might be a bit more "advanced"? Is it possible to get a user's screen selection? See attached for example. In the simulation navigator if the user selects a few response simulations I'd like to put all the "names" selected into a collector/array (whatever is easier) to carry-out some post processing. If it is easier do to it in the XY Function Navigator then this will work for me too!

Thanks

I have been advised that access to the global selection using
UI.GetUI().SelectionManager.GetNumSelectedObjects(​); and
UI.GetUI().SelectionManager.GetSelectedTaggedObjec​t(n);

Enjoy!

Well tha is not working. I have tested the code and my selection is not regonised i.e. it is blank.(numsel = 0). I am working in the 'XY Function Navigator'.Does anyone have knowledge of using 'XYPlotManager'? This might give me more option
