display-special-instance

Arguments: object-editor type

Displays the first, last, next, or previous instance of an object-editor dialog's sorted list of edited-instances. To display some other instance, call display-instance instead.

The sorted list that determines which instance is displayed is an internally cached list and not the official list of instances in the edited-instances property, if any. See primary-name-slot.

Four of the built-in command-buttons may be used to call this function, or it can be called in some other way. An application could add wrapper methods to catch whenever an object-editor displays an instance.

object-editor is the object-editor that will display the instance.

type should be one of the keywords:

• :first: display the first instance in the internal sorted list.
• :last: display the last.
• :next: display the instance that is just after the current-instance in the sorted list, if any, and otherwise will do nothing.
• :previous: like :next for the previous instance.
