missing highlight on newly created objects
missing highlight on newly created objects
hi,
i'm having some trouble with the oddbentity::highlight(..) function - it doesn't seem to work on objects which has been recently created. example:
code:
oddbobjectid id = pdb->insert(..);
oddbentityptr pent = id.safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
pent->highlight(true); // highlight entity
playout->update(); // update view
the above code will not highlight the entity. a workaround is to update the view once before highlighting:
code:
oddbobjectid id = pdb->insert(..);
playout->update(); // update view
oddbentityptr pent = id.safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
pent->highlight(true); // highlight entity
playout->update(); // update view again to show highlighted object
i am assuming this is a bug. the workaround is ok, but the extra view update leads to some unnecessary code/extra steps, so a fix would be nice.
this has been tested on v2.3.0 and 2.3.1 libraries (not recompiled for 2.3.1), but i think it has like this at least since v2.2.
