I used reflection and found the IsSelected property of the Simulate tab:

Because there is no dll (i think VM is Virtual Machine), so could not:

using Autodesk.Navisworks.Gui.Common.VM.BaseVM

using Autodesk.Navisworks.Timeliner.VM

In this context, has 4 tab TasksTabVM, DataSourcesTabVM, ConfigureTabVM, SimulateTabVM How do I determine the「IsSelected」property of each tab?

Is there a way to change the value of property IsSelected using reflection?

Any tips on these will be great help.

Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head, `tabs.GetType().GetProperty("IsSelected").SetValue(tabs, true);` – Jonathon Chase Apr 20 '18 at 00:28

By the way, VM is more likely to mean "view model" in this context. – DavidG Apr 20 '18 at 01:01

iterate over tabs. `foreach(var tab in tabs) Console.WriteLine(tab.GetType().GetProperty("IsSelected").GetValue(tab));` – Jonathon Chase Apr 20 '18 at 01:11
Because cannot using dll, use foreach() will have the error: *The foreach statement can not be used for variables of type 'object' because 'object' does not contain the public definition of 'GetEnumerator'.* – Oosutsuke Apr 20 '18 at 01:14

You can cast it to IEnumerable. – Jonathon Chase Apr 20 '18 at 01:16
