[gme-users] Add-on : how to visually mark a node programatically

[Dan Simkins]

Peter,

Thanks for your suggestion; I have tried using showFCO in the following 
fragment:

void Component::objectEventPerformed( Object& object, unsigned long 
event, VARIANT v )
{
     // ======================
     // Insert application specific code here
     try
     {
         // Get the name of the object type (kind)
         std::string name = object->getObjectMeta().name() ;

         if ( name == "Human" )
         {
             BON::FCO fco = object ;

             if ( event == OBJEVENT_DESELECT )
             {
                 object->getProject()->showFCO( fco ) ;
             }
         }
     }
     catch ( BON::Exception e )
     {
         AfxMessageBox ( "Exception: " + CString( 
e.getErrorMessage().c_str() ) ) ;
     }
     catch ( ... )
     {
         AfxMessageBox ( "Exception: Unknown" ) ;
     }
}

I get an "object not found exception".

I know I must be doing something silly, and would appreciate any 
pointers in the right direction.

I would also like to thank everyone else who responded !!!

Kind regards

Dan
