Script Question - Saving Status of SelectHideMarquee

[csh2000]

I have several scripts that I would like to shut off the marquee while they are running and return the marquee to it's original state (off or on) when finished. Have any other scripters performed such action? I've tried to save the state from 'SelectHideMarquee' , but the state never changes.

* I apologize - after I saved this , I realized it got posted to the wrong community.

Thanks,
Chip

I know of no way to get the current state of the Selection Marquee. GetCommandInfo can return the last used parameters, but since they include a "toggle" option it will most likely return "Toggle" as the last used parameter which doesn't help.

Only way I can see anything remotely similar working is to pop up a dialog asking if they would like to leave marquees hidden at the beginning or end of the script and act accordingly. Though, obviously that can get annoying.

Thanks for the feedback, my findings are the same as yours.. GetCommandInfo only returns '2' (Toggle), unless I change via script to show or hide but know way to figure out what the settings were previously set at before the change.
