Temporarily disable preselection in complete view

[HoWil]

Hi,
is it possible to temporarily disable preselection in the complete view.
I need this for a script I am working on where preseleciton is obstructive. There it prevents a directly view on highlighted inner faces/edges (see viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12381&p=151950#p151950). A manual workaround is to temporarily set the/all element/s to 'Selectable=False'. I could also set 'Selectable=False' for each object under the mouse cursor by script and restore its original state afterwards but I am sure there has to be a simpler and directer approach .

I found a similar post (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17684&hilit=preselection) on disabling preselection for specific elements but want avoid this.

Thank you in advance,
HoWil

Code: Select all

from pivy import coin
view=Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getViewer()
root=view.getSceneGraph()
root.highlightMode.getValue()
root.highlightMode.setValue(2) # off

Is it possible to do that with the selection filter ? If so what is the string to use ?

Code: Select all

        filter = Gui.Selection.Filter('SELECT None')
        Gui.Selection.addSelectionGate(filter)

        Gui.Selection.removeSelectionGate()

Alternatively, how do you cancel the inactivation as per your code snippet?

You can do this

Code: Select all

Gui.Selection.addSelectionGate('SELECT None')

or use any string which isn't an existing typeid. Your suggestion by creating an instance of Gui.Selection.Filter should work too but crashes with current master (looks like a recent regression because in v0.21 it works).

Code: Select all

root.highlightMode.setValue(0)
