Hi,

given a particular INode, I’m trying to find out if it instanced or referenced. I’ve seen the IInstanceMgr class, but this doesn’t seem to give me enough information.

for any given INode, I want to be able to answer the following questions:
1 - is it unique? (I think I can use the IInstanceMgr class, when GetInstances returns 1)
2 - is it a reference? (I don’t think IInstanceMgr can tell me this, because the class documentation says any INode, be it the base or a reference, can be passed in as the source parameter)
3 - is it an instance? (on top of the problems stated for #2, IInstanceMgr doesn’t seem to make any distinction between instances and references)

Does anyone know anything about finding out this information?

Thanks in advance,
Richard
