object selection

In event reactor functions dealing with object appended, object erased events. When ever a new object is added or erased I want to re number all the existing objects in the drawing. but for this I need to select all the text (lying on a specific layer) objects in the drawing. SSGET is not allowd to be used in a reactor so how canI select the text objects any suggestion? Any code sample would be a big help.

Thanks.

Perhaps use a VL method:

(vlax-for lay (vla-get-layouts
               (vla-get-ActiveDocument
                 (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (vlax-for Obj (vla-get-Block lay)
   ... do something...
