DeselectAll() Method Problem

[Axel101]

Hello,

I'm trying to deselect all items before selecting a new one. The code is the
following:

currentApplication.ActiveWindow.DeselectAll();
Shape shape = someShape;
currentApplication.ActiveWindow.Select(shape, (short)VisSelectArgs.visSelect);

After doing this with two shapes on my page both shapes are selected. If I
add a MessageBox showing something before the DeselectAll() Method
DeselectAll() works fine.

Can someone explain what's wrong with the first code?

thanks
Axel

Hello Axel,

Are you saying that you're not having any success in deselecting shapes
unless you've shown the MessageBox first?

Are you working with multiple Application object instances? Are you sure
that your 'current' application is the one you're after?

Best regards

John
