GetComponent Method (IEntity)

Gets the owning component for this entity.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetComponent() As System.Object
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IEntity
Dim value As System.Object
 
value = instance.GetComponent()
C# 
System.object GetComponent()
C++/CLI 
System.Object^ GetComponent();

Return Value

Component that owns this entity

Example

Remarks

You can use ISelectionMgr::GetSelectedObject6 to get the selected object in the assembly, then use the entity object representing that face or edge object to call this method.

This method works only when you get the IEntity object directly from the assembly document or from an assembly entity that is displayed in a drawing document.
