get all the expressions driven by a parameter

Hi guys, I was wondering what is your technique to get all the expressions driven by a parameter. I'm trying to find the fastest way to do it. here is my code : def getExpressionsDrivenByParameter( param ): allExpressions = xsi.FindObjects(None, {12723EB2-7DDB-11D0-A57F-00A0C91412DE}) result =

Although minor, you could move exp.OutputPorts.Count a little earlier in your code as it's testing the same thing for each input port on the operator.You should only have to test that once per expression, like this: def getExpressionsDrivenByParameter( param ): allExpressions =

Maybe globally store the expressions with their params in a hash (dictionary in Python) and then do the reverse look up. Will not run faster but will save you time for each call to getExpressionsDrivenByParameter() In this case: PARAM_EXPR_DICT = {} for expr in Application.FindObjects(None,

Hey Jo, Nice job ! but my approach did not involve one function approach to speed up as you used in your profiling, rather it was just to globally store the data and look up as needed. The initial data pull was still the same as Jeremy with a little correction from Matt, but after that the
