Hi Andrew, You should poke around in uixsiscripts.vbs in your XSI install as it has a bunch of selection related code that should help you figure this out.
The major selection tool mode can be accessed using:
l_SelMode = GetUserPref("SI3D_RECTSEL_REGION_MODE")
The return values are:
1: Rectangle
2: Raycast
3: Lasso
4: Freeform
For rectangle raycast you need to be in Rectangle mode and
GetValue("Preferences.Select.rectraycast") has to also be true and you need to
be in shaded mode etc.
Finally, paint select is a different selection tool so it is not a mode like
the other items in the menu.

Subject: Query XSI SelectTool mode (lasso, rectangle, paint etc)
Ok. Another XSI Tools question. I tried to solve it with local collective mind
but it seems that it need global overmind help.
There are lots of stuff in commands list that helps to switch current context
to the special select tool mode: http://c2n.me/3L34qvz
But i didn't find any commands that can get\query current SelectionTool mode
(Lasso, Rectangle, Freeform, Paint etc).
My main goal is to perform components selection change from inside my custom
ToolContext (add components, subs components , toggle comps etc) in same
SelectionTool mode. So if we select for example polys with lasso we should also
select them with lasso in CustomTool.
I mention that we always have this menu with current selection mode checked.
Maybe we can somehow reach this menu: http://c2n.me/3L36T8U
