In languages like JavaScript it’s very easy to use an array:
var objects = [];
objects[1] = object1;
objects[2] = object2;
// etc.In C++ it’s not too difficult either but takes a bit more code to create and delete such an array:
if (!app)
return false;
ui = app->userInterface();
if (!ui)
return false;
// Get selected entities
Ptr<Selections> sel = ui->activeSelections();
int selCount = sel->count();
// Create array for storing objects
Ptr<Base> * objects = new Ptr<Base>[selCount];
// Store the objects in the array
for( int i = 0; i < selCount; i++)
{
objects[i] = sel->item(i)->entity();
}
// Retrieve items from the array
for(int i = 0; i < selCount; i++)
{
Ptr<ConstructionPoint> pt = objects[i];
const char * ot = objects[i]->objectType();
if (pt)
{
// Do something…
}
}
// Delete array
for(int i = 0; i < selCount; i++)
objects[i].detach();
delete objects;
An even nicer solution could be using a vector:
for(int i = 0; i < selCount; i++)
{
Ptr<Base> obj = sel->item(i)->entity();
if (obj)
objects[i] = obj;
}
