selecting all component occurrences in a folder using API

[Anonymous]

hey,

i am doing some calculation based on component occurrences that user selects in a plugin, that is written in c#. while in a common assembly document, there is no problem iterating through the slected set, but when user selects a folder from browser, my problem occurs, i would like to get all component occurrences in the selected folder, do you have any idea?

If you can share the code you have so far, that is a big help for everyone here.

@Anonymous,

Hoping that below vb.net code is helpful.

oFolder = oPane.TopNode.BrowserFolders.Item("Name of folder or selected node")
oFolderNodes = oFolder.BrowserNode.BrowserNodes
Dim oComp as ComponentOccurrence
For Each oNode As BrowserNode In oFolderNodes
	oComp = oNode.NativeObject
	 
Next

Thanks and regards,

thank you, dear Chandra, 

i also did this a little bit different, as in c# it looks like this:

void PackSelectedComponents(BrowserNode Node, Globals.Package thispack)
{
foreach( object nodeobj in Node.BrowserNodes)
{
ObjectTypeEnum objectType = GetObjectType(nodeobj);
if (objectType == ObjectTypeEnum.kBrowserFolderObject)
                {
                    BrowserFolder Folder = default(BrowserFolder);
                    object  obj = nodeobj;
                    Folder = (BrowserFolder)obj;
                    BrowserNode subNode = Folder.BrowserNode;
                    PackSelectedComponents(subNode, thispack);
                }
else if (objectType == ObjectTypeEnum.kComponentOccurrenceObject
                    || objectType == ObjectTypeEnum.kComponentOccurrenceProxyObject)
                {
                    ComponentOccurrence compOcc = default(ComponentOccurrence);
                    compOcc = (ComponentOccurrence)nodeobj;
                    DoAttribute.WritePackagingData(compOcc, thispack);
                    if (compOcc.DefinitionDocumentType == DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject)
                        PackSelectedComponents((ComponentOccurrences)compOcc.SubOccurrences, thispack);
                }
}
