Q.
I am writing a snap-in for ConsoleOne. I want to programatically search a given sub-tree (for which I have the root ObjectEntry) for classes of a specific type. This has to take place with no user intervention, so I can't use the search dialogues.
I can't believe something so fundamental is missing from the ConsoleOne APIs, but I've been looking through documentation all day and can't find anything useful. Even if I can get a child collection for each ObjectEntry, that would be enough so that I can filter it myself, but a filtered search would be better. Go on, put me out of my misery!

You will probably want to use the Shell.getChildren method, which seems to offer exactly what you would like to do. For more information about the ConsoleOne SDK, visit http://developer.novell.com/ndk/nco.htm.
