SelectFromScreen and default behavior

    I have a call to SelectFromScreen that uses a filter to limit the entities the user selects.

    Is it possible for me to set the prompt to show something like:

    Select Objects / <all>:

    So that if they just return with the mouse, it will select all entities.

    Make sense?

    Well you could probably hack something together using the GetAsyncKeyState api, but I think you would run into problems with users doing all sorts of things that you dont expect them to.

    Usually the best bet is not to deviate from the default behavior of AutoCAD which is; if they want all entities then they simply type "all" when prompted to select.
