Not sure if OpenLayers has this built in, but it seems fairly strait-forward to do this with just a few lines of javascript. Just attach a javascript function to the "featureadded" event of your drawing vector layer to do something like this:<br>
<br>for(var f in vectorLayer.features) {<br> if(polygon.geometry.intersects(f.geometry)) {<br> selectFeatureControl.select(f);<br> }<br>}<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 3:42 PM, osullivj <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeremiahosullivan@gmail.com">jeremiahosullivan@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I am aware the select control can use a BBOX...does anyone know if it is<br>
possible to allow the user to draw a polygon to select all points within the<br>
polygon<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
