Get object from which a program has been called

Postby tho_mi » Thu Mar 29, 2018 8:20 am

Hey,

is there a way to find out which from which object a specific program/add-in was called? E.g. a procedure for matrices and vectors can be called via Proc -> Add-Ins when a matrix/vector has been opened. Is there a way to get the corresponding object without asking the user to specify it via a dialog?

Thanks in advance!

As an aside, it might be useful to download some of the existing object based add-ins to see tricks of the trade

I've already done that to get some info about the UI/dialogs. Thanks :)
