JS InDesign CS4: Check Rectangle if it contains artwork or empty.

[Yuliaart]

Hi,

I need to check selected Rectangle if it contains Graphic or it's empty and I need to do it by checking selection, but I couldn't find anything helpful in the OMV on the Selection, and none of what I tried works.

if (app.activeDocument.selection[0].child != Graphic)

{

}

Your help is highly appriciated.

Hi Yuliaart,

Try this:

var s = app.selection[0];

if( s.constructor == Rectangle && !s.graphics.length )
     {
     alert('No graphics in selected Rectangle');
     }

or this:

for (n = 0 ; n < app.selection.length; n++)
     {
     if(app.selection.graphics.length > 0)
          {
          make something ...
          }
     }
