How to determine # of objects selected

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

I need to know if:

• 1 object is selected
• >1 object is selected
• No objects are selected

I am using the following in several functions within my app, and it seems to be working fine:

diagram.model.selectedItems.children.length

However, when I use this in the OnClientSelectionChange event handler, I get strange results.

Watch the attached video, which shows (in the console log) the results I'm getting.

Here's the event handler:

function selectionChangeHandler(args) {
                console.log('In selectionChangeHandler - # objects selected = ' + diagram.model.selectedItems.children.length);
                var objectName = null;
                if (args.element.name) {
                    objectName = args.element.name;
                }
                if (objectName && objectName.substring(0, 9) != 'connector' && objectName.substring(0, 6) != 'bezier' && objectName.substring(0, 5) != 'Horiz' && objectName.substring(0, 8) != 'Vertical') {
                    var handles = diagram.model.selectedItems.userHandles;
                    handles[0].visible = true;
                    diagram.updateUserHandles(args.element);
                } else {
                    var handles = diagram.model.selectedItems.userHandles;
                    handles[0].visible = false;
                    diagram.updateUserHandles(args.element);
                }
                var node = args.element;
                if (node) {
                    if (node.addInfo) {
                        if (node.addInfo.NodeType) {
                            if (node.addInfo.NodeType == 'Task') {
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblRoleCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblInputCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblOutputCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblDataCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblToolCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblProcCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;
                                document.getElementById('<%= lblNoteCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 0;

                                if (node.addInfo.roleCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblRoleCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.roleCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.inputCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblInputCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.inputCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.outputCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblOutputCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.outputCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.dataCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblDataCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.dataCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.toolCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblToolCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.toolCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.procCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblProcCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.procCount;
                                }
                                if (node.addInfo.noteCount) {
                                    document.getElementById('<%= lblNoteCount.ClientID %>').innerHTML = node.addInfo.noteCount;
                                }
                                var txtTaskName = $find('<%= txtTaskName.ClientID %>').set_value(node.labels[0].text);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

I also have a change event on a textbox - you'll see evidence of that in the console log as well.  Please ignore.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

What technique should I be using to determine the # of objects selected?

Thanks

Jim
