-- Modified by rob Sep 98 : a) Replace List by HArray1

-- SAV : 18/03/02 OCC189 - array was replaced with list

-- san : 18/04/03 USE_MAP - additional datamap is used to speed up access 
--       to certain owners in <myresult> list

    Create(aName: CString from Standard)
    returns mutable Selection from AIS;
    ---Purpose: creates a new selection and make it current in the session.
    --          the selection will be accessible later through its name
    --          to make it again current.
    --          
    --          Note that if a session has been created, a session with 
    --          the name  "default" is created.
    --          
    --          In this case, the is always a current selection which 
    --          is the last one created  until SetCurrentSelection is used.
    --          
    --          The class methods deals with the current selection.
    --          
    --          Warning : Better Call AIS_Selection::CreateSelection.

    Find(myclass; aName: CString from Standard)
    ---Purpose: returns True if a selection having this name exsits.

    returns Boolean from Standard;

    CreateSelection(myclass;aName:CString from Standard)
    returns Boolean from Standard;
    ---Purpose: calls the private constructor and puts the new Selection
    --          in the list of existing selections.
    --          returns False if the selection exists.

    ---Purpose: returns False if There is no selection of name <aName>

    CurrentSelection(myclass)
    ---Purpose: 
    returns mutable Selection from AIS;
    

    Select(myclass);
    ---Purpose: removes all the object of the currentselection.

    returns SelectStatus from AIS;
    ---Purpose:  if the object is not yet in the current selection, it will be added.
    --           if the object is already in the current selection, it will be removed.
            
    AddSelect(myclass; anObject: Transient from Standard)

    ---Purpose:  the object is always add int the selection.
    --           faster when the number of objects selected is great.
    
    ClearAndSelect(myclass; anObject: Transient from Standard);
    ---Purpose: clears the selection and adds the object in the selection.
    

    IsSelected(myclass; anObject: Transient from Standard)
    returns Boolean from Standard;
    

    Extent(myclass) returns Integer from Standard;
    ---Purpose: returns the number of objects selected.

    Single(myclass) returns Transient from Standard
        ---Purpose: returns the single object selected.   
  --  Warning: raises TypeMismatch from Standard if Extent is not equal to 1.
