You then first need to loop the document, searching for the active ones.
If you do a search for "hierarchy" here at SDK you'll find example code, including finding specific tags as well.

Hi zeorge ...

I used to do it like below ...

AtomArray *atm=AtomArray::Alloc();
BaseDocument *doc=GetActiveDocument();
doc->GetActiveObjects(*atm,FALSE);
LONG lObjCnt=atm->GetCount();//Taking the selected object count ...
MessageDialog(LongToString(lObjCnt) + " objects are selected!");
//If you want to take the first object
BaseObject *obj=(BaseObject* )atm->GetIndex(0);
MessageDialog("The first object is " + obj->GetName());

I hope the above code block can help you ...
Take care the function is GetActiveOjbect s not GetActiveObject ...

Wishing you all the best ...
