Function SetSelected(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Selected As Boolean, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing solid object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

Selected

This item is True if the specified solid object is selected, otherwise it is False.

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

The function returns zero if the selected status is successfully set; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
