RE: [ROOT] TBrowser Question

I think TBrowser::GetSelected() 
http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TBrowser.html#TBrowser:GetSelected 
returns the TObject pointer to the object you have clicked.
However you (your compiled code) have to CALL it on its own.

This means somewhere in your code your should create a browser object

  TBrowser *myBrowser = new TBrowser();

Then you can access it via 

   TObject *selectedObject = myBrowser->GetSelected();

If you want to be notified about the recent object selection then the
Qt-based browser can do this job because it emits the Qt signal 
(see: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.0/signalsandslots.html  ) when the
object is clicked.
(see http://root.bnl.gov Web site for the further information )

                  Hope this helps, Valeri
