I want to make dialog like for creating planar constraint, but can't understand how to set filters to wfcSession selection or make call wfcSession->Select(wfcSelectionOptions_ptr) in background with ActionListener like "OnSelect" or something. Can anyone help me with this issue?

found that if set up to choose one item than dialog hide correctly

pfcSession_ptr pSession = pfcGetProESession();

wfcWSession_ptr wSession = wfcWSession::cast(pSession);

wfcSelectionEnvironmentOptions_ptr wfcSelEnvOptions = wfcSelectionEnvironmentOptions::create();

wfcSelectionEnvironmentOption_ptr selEnvOpt = wfcSelectionEnvironmentOption::Create(wfcSELECT_HIDE_SEL_DLG, 1);

wfcSelEnvOptions->append(selEnvOpt);

wfcWSelectionOptions_ptr wSelOpt = wfcWSelectionOptions::Create(choosenType, 1, wfcSelEnvOptions);

pfcSelectionOptions_ptr pSelOpt = pfcSelectionOptions::softcast(wSelOpt);

pfcSelections_ptr pSelections =  wSession->Select(pSelOpt);

wfcSession->Select is perfect for this. What do you want to select ?

AFAIK :

1. Create an option_ptr

pfcSelectionOptions_ptr option_ptr = pfcSelectionOptions::Create("String Identifier");

Creo Parametric Database Item

2. Do your select and get back your pfcselection_ptr.

3. Undefined maxlength

int length = sel_ptr.getarraysize();

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {

  sel_ptr.get(i);

}

3. Defined maxlength

sel_ptr.get(0);

4. Cast it to the stuff you say he can select. If it's more than one you need to check the type.

thanks, I tried "wfcSession->Select", but still have default dialog appears, I want to do something like Creo Simulate planar constraint dialog reference selection.

Here some code:

pfcSession_ptrpSession = pfcGetProESession();

wfcWSession_ptr wSession = wfcWSession::cast(pSession);

wfcSelectionEnvironmentOptions_ptr wfcSelEnvOptions = wfcSelectionEnvironmentOptions::create();

wfcSelectionEnvironmentOption_ptr ptropt = wfcSelectionEnvironmentOption::Create(wfcSELECT_HIDE_SEL_DLG, 1);

wfcSelEnvOptions->append(ptropt);

wfcWSelectionOptions_ptr wOpt= wfcWSelectionOptions::Create("surface",-1,wfcSelEnvOptions);

pfcSelectionOptions_ptr pOpt = pfcSelectionOptions::softcast(wOpt);

wSession->Select(pOpt);

One more Idea ...

If you use the std. select and you are in a Program that is async. You need to know how the window name ist (collect it by mapkey) and it could be that you can use ProDialogHide() or something like that on it. But I don't know if it reacts after that like it should.

It could be that this isn't possible at that moment and crashes Creo ... so I don't know ... just an idea.

Or you live with the small Dialog, because it's std. PTC behaivior ^.^
