How to Get Document Object from Context Menu?

[mfoster9TD82]

Hello,
Does anyone know a way to get the selected Document object from the Browser in a OnContextMenu event?

I made a custom context menu button, but I can't figure out how to get the selected Document object from the context menu user event

private void UserInputEvents_OnContextMenu(SelectionDeviceEnum SelectionDevice, NameValueMap AdditionalInfo, CommandBar CommandBar)
{ ...}

 or from the button click event

 private void CCIFSInfoRightClick_OnExecute(NameValueMap Context)
 {...}

 
Anyone have any insights or ideas?

Wow I had no clue you could add your own context menu items!

I don't code in VBA and I'm guessing based on how I think this action would go. I only see:

UserInputEvents.OnLinearMarkingMenu( SelectedEntities As ObjectsEnumerator, SelectionDevice As SelectionDeviceEnum, LinearMenu As CommandControls, AdditionalInfo As NameValueMap )

You would be looking for an event that had "SelectedEntities as ObjectEnumerator" in it. If you have that firing correctly and its getting one object, I assume that it will be a kBrowserNodeObject. You can get the object with .NativeObject. This will get the componentoccurrence you selected. 

You should definitely post the whole code though.

Good find! I was using UserInputEvents.OnContextMenu which doesn't look like it is in the API documentation anymore...
I figured out a way to do it with OnContextMenu, you can just look at 

InventoInventorApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSetrApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet

But I think the OnLinearMarkingMenu is probably the more supported method so I'll probably switch to using that, It looks like they do about the same thing.
