Selection Interactor

The selection interactor (the class ilog.views.interactor.IlvSelectInteractor) allows you to select and edit objects in a hierarchy of nested managers. Using this interactor, you can select objects in several managers that are part of the hierarchy of nested managers.

Selecting Multiple Objects

You can select several objects either by:

Using Shift-click on objects, or
Dragging a rectangle. When dragging a rectangle, graphic objects that are inside the rectangle will be part of the selection even if the submanager that contains these objects is not fully inside the rectangle.

Moving a Nested Manager

Clicking and dragging on the background of a nested manager will allow you to move the nested manager. To start a multiple selection with a selection rectangle, you can either:

Click and drag in the background of the view, or
Click and drag in the background of a nested manager with the Control (Ctrl) key pressed. In this case the Control key allows you to distinguish between beginning the drag of the selection rectangle and beginning the move operation of a manager.
