SelectionObserver and get attributes....

[Pauline01]

Hello,

I see the classe http://code.google.com/intl/fr-FR/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/selectionobserver.html, i use this to run a ruby script when i click on a component in skecthup.

for example:

My component "Component#1" has in "Component Attribute" an identity, adress, and others descriptions... i want when i click on this component, run my ruby script (I already did that), but i don't know to retrieve "Component Attribute". I wish put for example the attribute "identity" of "Componente#1" in a variable in ruby.

require 'sketchup.rb'

class MySelectionObserver < Sketchup;;SelectionObserver

       def onSelectionBulkChange(selection)	   
		wd=UI;;WebDialog.new( "Somfy Controller", true, "",950, 700, 100, 100, false )
		wd.show
		
####################
		#I WANT TO PUT IDENTITY ATTRIBUE OF MY COMPONENT#1 IN THIS VARIABLE
                identity= '000003'
		wd.set_url("http://localhost/final_programme/index.php?identity="+identity+"")
####################

       end
end

     # Attach the observer.
     Sketchup.active_model.selection.add_observer(MySelectionObserver.new)
# end of sample.rb

thx to help me

How to set attributes?

entity.get_attribute http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entity.html#get_attribute
entity.set_attribute http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entity.html#set_attribute

Hi Pauline, the attributes for a Dynamic Component are in the the "dynamic_attributes" attribute_dictionary.

# Check  "dynamic_attributes" dictionary for a Dynamic Component
identity = selected[0].get_attribute("dynamic_attributes", "identity")
# the Definition may have the attribute, so...
if identity.nil?
  identity = selected.definition.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes", "identity")
end
if identity.nil?
  # there is not attribute named "identity"
else
  # Yes, we found "identity"
end
