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.
