Parameters

selectableObject: Object

The object to make visible.

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

Use EnsureVisible when you are working with an object in the workflow that requires user interface cues. EnsureVisible will expand parent objects and scroll the WorkflowView as necessary to make the object visible on the designer.
