Example

Function EA_GetCompartmentData(Repository As EA.Repository, sCompartment As String, sGUID As String, oType As EA.ObjectType) As Variant

If Repository Is Nothing Then

Exit Function

End If

Dim Node1 As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

Dim Node As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

On Error GoTo ERR_GetCompartmentData

Select Case sCompartment

For Each Node In Nodes

Case "ports"

End Select

If there is no data to display, then don't return any compartment data

Else

End If
