How to check component mode

[rtrowbridge]

How do I check what mode the user is currently in? I specificaly want to check if the user has right clicked on an object and changed to vertex/edge/face mode and I also want to check if the user is in pivot mode. I know I can make a scriptJob to check if the user has changed modes but I need to know what mode they are in.

Use selectType to query selection mode. You must use -ocm flag to query per-object mode.
For example to check if component mode on currently selected object is vertex:

selectType -ocm -q -v

It will return boolean value.
Take a look at the selectType documentation to see what modes you can query.
