Examples

The following example uses the GetService method of the WorkflowView object to return an ISelectionService interface. If the service exists, EnsureVisible is called passing the currently selected activity using the PrimarySelection property of the ISelectionService object.

public void FindSelection()
{
    ISelectionService selectionService;
    selectionService = ((IServiceProvider)this.workflowView).GetService(typeof(ISelectionService))
        as ISelectionService;

    if (selectionService != null)
        this.workflowView.EnsureVisible(selectionService.PrimarySelection);
}
Public Sub FindSelection()
    Dim selectionService As ISelectionService
    selectionService = CType(CType(Me.workflowView, IServiceProvider).GetService(GetType(ISelectionService)), ISelectionService)

    If selectionService IsNot Nothing Then
        Me.workflowView.EnsureVisible(selectionService.PrimarySelection)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

If the serviceType is CommandID this method will return a specific CommandID. For any other Type, GetService will return an Object that implements the requested service, or a null reference (Nothing) if the service cannot be resolved.
