This structure is used to determine the type and the parameters of the current selection. You can retrieve this information with the ACAPI_Selection_Get function.
To change the current marquee with ACAPI_Selection_SetMarquee, you should set the typeID, multiStory and marquee fields in the API_SelectionInfo parameter.
In case of marquee-type selection don’t forget to dispose the coords handle in the marquee region when you don’t need it any more.
