Apologies for the terrible title.

Hey all thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I'm making a renaming tool and we'd like it to change context based on the user's last selection. The three modes would be: object manager, takes manager, material manager.

Ideally I'd like the mode to change if the user is hovering over one of these three managers but from what I've been told that isn't possible. So my thought for now is to poll c4d for changes in selections at regular intervals. Is this the best way to go about something like this?

Thanks again for reading,
Cheers,
Andy
