Limit.getSelection Method

Puts the list of SelectedValues from a Limit into an array.
[object.]getSelection ()

Arguments

object
Required. A Limit object.

Return Value

The getSelection function returns an array of zero or more elements containing the string value(s) of the Items in object.SelectedValues.

Remarks

The following example uses Limit.getSelection Method to determine how many values are in a ListBox: 

//	Use getSelection to get the list of SelectedValues from a limit
//	then use setSelection to set a selection from the array
if (ActiveDocument.QueryInProcess == "Q-Expenditures") {
	var arr = ActiveDocument.Sections["Q-Budget"].Limits["Region"].getSelection();
	var oTo = ActiveDocument.Sections["Q-Expenditures"].Limits["Region"];
	oTo.setSelection(arr);
}

//	Use setSelection to set a selection directly from another Limit
if (ActiveDocument.QueryInProcess == "Q-Expenditures") {
	var oFrom = ActiveDocument.Sections["Q-Budget"].Limits["Region"];
	var oTo = ActiveDocument.Sections["Q-Expenditures"].Limits["Region"];
	oTo.setSelection(oFrom);
}

Requirements

ActiveDocument.loadObjectMethods() must be run after the limit object is created and before this object method is used.
