Re: lookup confusing me

Hi Peter,

the global context represents the active/selected element(s). So If you have 
selected one or more DataObjects, you can find them in the lookup of the global 
context. 

The meaning of "All" in the method lookup.lookupAll () is, that you get all of 
these objects in a list instead only the first found.

The selection can be empty, so the lookup of the global context can be empty.

Does it help or have I misunderstood your question?

The more interesting question is how to get a list of all opend files? In some 
of my apps I have implemented my own global lookup/cache to keep them. But 
maybe there is a more intelligent way.

best regards
Oliver
