Re: finding an effigy

[Chad Berkley]

Ok, that sounds good.  Is there an easy method for getting the effigy of 
that workflow?  When I do a Configuration.findEffigy(<actor>), it 
returns null.  I'm not sure how to get a pointer to that open workflow 
from a random place in the code.

thanks,
chad

I would suggest using the effigy for the model being viewed next to the
library... The main purpose of this effigy is to give hierarchy to window
managements, so that (for example), if you close a window, then all windows
that are conceptually sub-windows close...

Hi,

I'm trying to make it possible to get the documentation for an actor from the 
actor library by right clicking on an actor.  In the GetDocumentationAction 
class, it asks the Configuration for an Effigy for the object you are trying to 
open the documentation for.  Since there is no effigy for an actor that is not 
yet part of a model, it fails.  Is there a way for me to add a ghost effigy 
into the configuration so that the documentation can be created?

thanks,
chad
