ViewX Automation Interface - Mimic Script Libraries Referenced

[LStone_AA]

Using the ViewX COM/Automation interface, is it possible to determine what script libraries a mimic's script is referencing?

I've found ViewX.Mimic.Script, .ScriptEnabled and .ScriptLanguage but no sign of what drives the list of referenced script libraries.

I don't think the automation interface allows the library refs to be enumerated or changed.

Could you do it from the other direction? List the script libraries and find their references?

Alternatively if you use the old WebX interface you can view the XML for the mimic and that includes the script reference, i.e.

Change ?applet to ?content in the URL, i.e. http://localhost:8080/db/Opening%20Page?applet to http://localhost:8080/db/Opening%20Page?content

Down the end of the XML you should see

<Script lang="{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}">
<Library name="Symbol Library.Test">Option Explicit Public Sub Test MsgBox "Help" End Sub</Library>
</Script>

There's a references method in the automation interface.  I think you could potentially use that and then loop and find the type or class of the returned objects.  I think .References returns all objects that refer to the object, so you'd probably need to go backwards and query the libraries, then for each library build a collection or array of mimics based on what's returned.  The good news here is that the list will be significantly smaller. 

Not a direct answer to your question, but there's a ListReferences utility on the GS GitHub that works pretty well, but you'll need to compile it.  Might satisfy your use case.

I wrote that one AdamTrent!!

Cheers all! Not the one-API-fits-all answer I had hoped, but a few different options to investigate.
