Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

selectPriority is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

The selectPriority command is used to change the selection priority of particular types of objects that can be selected when using the select tool. It accepts no other arguments besides the flags. These flags are the same as used by the 'selectType' command.

Return value

int if a query operation

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
