GetTreeSelectedPackages()

[zapurvis]

There is a GetTreeSelectedElements(). 
How about throwing in a GetTreeSelectedPackages() from the Repository class.

Is there any word on whether this is going to occur?

Zak,

GetTreeselectedElements already returns the selected Packages.
Packages are a bit schizophrenic.  They are part Package and part Element but share the same GUID.
In order to get the Element part of a Package you use Package.Element
In order to get the Package part of the element (of type Package) you use Repository.GetPackageByGUID(Element.ElementGUID)

I am requesting:
Repository.GetTreeSelectedPackages()

This presently does not exist.  If I select 4 Packages, not elements, in the Project Browser, I want to retrieve a Collection containing only those packages.

Or give me some Jscript way to get the selected Packages from the Project Browser.

From the list of elements you get from GetTreeSelectedElements just get the type to see that it's a package. Then use Repository.GetPackageByGuid(element.elementGuid). This returns the according package.

I am sorry, I need to be more clear.  I am not using Repository.GetTreeSelectedElements().  This function returns NULL.  I am requesting a brand new function which will return Packages.

In the Project Browser:
Select 3 packages at the same level. (ONLY PACKAGES)

I want these packages to be returned in the API. 

Repository.GetTreeSelectedElements()  == Null.

Or, How can I figure out which Packages are selected.  There are zero elements selected.

I am using EA 10.

Thanks,
Zak

GetTreeSelectedElements() returns a collection with elements/packages/whatever. If your version doesn't you should probably upgrade to the recent V12.
