Methods :

• Add the select() method to manage ball selection.

Private members :

• QList<GLC_uint> m_TreeId to identify the balls id.

	updateGL();
}

mousePressEvent :

If the button is the left button, call method select.

select :

All GLC_3DViewInstance have an unique ID, therefore it's easy to identify the selected object.

• Get selection ID with the method GLC_Viewport::select().
• Retrieve selected Geometry with the method GLC_3DViewCollection::instanceHandle()
• Change the geometry color with the method GLC_VBOGeom::firstMaterial()->ambientColor()
• Update the view to see selected ball with a new color.
