Is there a easy way to set the BOX MODE and SEE THOUGH object properties?

I would like to make it into a simple button + quad menu item that will turn the selected objects into box or see though mode?

If someone could help me out i would appreciate it.

the macro recorder is (usually) your friend; it reported the properties .xray and .boxMode as the ones you'll want to access...


-- set see-through on selected objects ON:
for o in (getCurrentSelection()) do ( o.xray = true )

-- OFF:
for o in (getCurrentSelection()) do ( o.xray = false )

-- Toggle:
for o in (getCurrentSelection()) do ( o.xray = not o.xray )


Code for box mode is suspiciously similar :)
