I am looking at using dgk with Visual Basic.

Thanks

Hi Mark
I do not believe there is "off the shelf" functionality for this. It is simple to code:
You probably need for a selection rectangle, which you have in pixels, to get coordinates of points which are under it in 3d?
For a 3d point to check whether it is under the selection rectangle use
IView_DG.ProjectToScreen(Point_DG point3D). It returns pixels. Check that it is inside the selection area. Repeat this for all points in the cloud.
Regards
Alfio
