Default Selection Highlight method

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue
In Navisworks you can change the default option of highlight mode e.g. Shaded, Wireframe, Tinted. ActiveX control uses the mode. But how to change the mode without opening the product ?

Solution
ActiveX control’s depends on the option of product, which can be set in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage\8.0\GlobalOptions\interface\selection\highlight There is no direct API way to set this option, but it is not difficult to manipulate the registry.
