AI-generated Key Takeaways

• SelectionType identifies the specific type of selected objects in Google Slides, like text, table cells, or pages.

• SelectionType has several enum values, including UNSUPPORTED, NONE, TEXT, TABLE_CELL, PAGE, PAGE_ELEMENT, and CURRENT_PAGE, representing different selection states.

• You can access these values using the syntax SlidesApp.SelectionType.TEXT (replace TEXT with the desired property).

SelectionType

Type of Selection.

The SelectionType represents the most specific type of one or more objects that are selected. As an example if one or more TableCell instances are selected in a Table, the selection type is SelectionType.TABLE_CELL. The TableCellRange can be retrieved by using the Selection.getTableCellRange. The Table can be retrieved by using the Selection.getPageElementRange and the Page can be retrieved from the Selection.getCurrentPage.

To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example, SlidesApp.SelectionType.TEXT.
