| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
This variable holds the value that was returned by the most recent
invocation of the IDE's Tools | Return Selected
Object command. Typically you would evaluate the symbol
*
just after using the command to access the
returned value, but *selected-object*
allows you to access the
value when it is no longer held in *
, **
, or ***
(since those variables are modified with
each evaluation in the listener).
The symbol *selected-object*
will also appear in an
IDE Listener's drop-down history for any invocation of Tools | Return Selected Object.
The reason is that this command works by first setting the value of
*selected-object*
to be
the value returned by a call to selected-object in the currently selected
window, and then doing a top-level evaluation on the symbol
*selected-object*
, just as if you had evaluated
that symbol in the listener.
