IModelObject::GetParentModel method (dbgmodel.h)

The GetParentModel method returns the i-th parent model in the parent model chain of the given object. Parent models are searched for a property or concept in the linear order they are added or enumerated. The parent model with index i of zero is searched (hierarchically) before the parent model with index i + 1.

Syntax

HRESULT GetParentModel(
  ULONG64      i,
  IModelObject **model,
  IModelObject **contextObject
);

Parameters

i

A linear zero based index indicating which parent model in the chain to retrieve.

model

An IModelObject representing the i-th parent model will be returned here.

contextObject

If the parent model has an associated context adjustor, the adjusted context will be returned here. See the documentation for AddParentModel for more information about this value.

Return value

This method returns HRESULT that indicates success or failure.

Remarks

Code Sample

ComPtr<IModelObject> spObject; /* get an object */

ULONG64 numModels;
if (SUCCEEDED(spObject->GetNumberOfParentModels(&numModels)))
{
    // Enumerate the set of parents in linear resolution order:
    for (ULONG64 i = 0; i < numModels; ++i)
    {
        ComPtr<IModelObject> spParent;
        ComPtr<IModelObject> spContextAdjustor;
        if (SUCCEEDED(spObject->GetParentModel(i, &spParent, &spContextAdjustor)))
        {
            // spParent contains the i-th parent model
            // spContext optionally contains a context adjustor.  Properties above 
            //     this in the tree will use this context instead of spObject.
            //     Conceptually, this is a *this* pointer thunk/adjustor.  The 
            //     adjustor can be a property which must be fetched instead of a static value.
        }
    }
}
