I don't know how to use GetMatchingArt(...) to get what I need

Question

Hello programmers,
I have compound path arts and path arts selected in the document.
I want to have all the selected compund paths and then all the paths which are not part of a compound path.
I do the following(short version):
AIMatchingArtSpec path_and_selected1 = {kCompoundPathArt, kArtSelected, kArtSelected };
error = sAIMatchingArt->GetMatchingArt(&path_and_selected1, 1, &matches1,&num_of_matches1);
Here I set of all "matches1" elements attributes to hidden. I spare the code from you.
AIMatchingArtSpec path_and_selected2[2] ={ {kPathArt, kArtHidden, 0}, {kPathArt, kArtSelected, kArtSelected }};error = sAIMatchingArt->GetMatchingArt(path_and_selected2, 2, &matches2, &num_of_matches2);
The 1st call GetMatchingArt(...) I get the right result - all the selected compound paths.
But in the 2nd call I get all the selected paths(at least, maybe even more, I don't care), including those who are under a compound path.
What do I need to do? The API documentation is not good in explaining such things.

Answer 1

Try adding {kPathArt, kArtPartOfCompound, 0 } and see if that works.
If not, you can always iterate over your second set and throw out any path that has that set you'll have what you're looking for.
