Demonstrates how to get a PackageInstance from a ILxItem COM interface. If you pass this function an item, it will return the class that it derives from, as long as it is one of your classes. Obviously, change the class name to whatever your class is called, as well as the server name!

getInstance.cpp

	Instance *
getInstance (
	ILxUnknownID		 item)
{
	CLxLoc_PackageInstance	 pkgInstance (item);
	CLxSpawner <Instance>	 spawn ("myInstance");

	if (pkgInstance.test ())
		return spawn.Cast (pkgInstance);
	
	return NULL;
}
