Hello, I've a class that holds a TDirectory pointer but that ignores if the directory structure of the TDirectory instance is entirely loaded in memory or not (the instance can be a TFile instance). In a member function of this class, I want to get a pointer to a subdirectory of the TDirectory instance. Suppose this subdirectory is called "MySubDir". I want to get a pointer to "MySubDir" and we don't know if "MySubDir" is in memory or not. I wanted to use TDirectory::Get(), but the ROOT reference guide says that we must not use TDirectory::Get() when the namecycle is a TDirectory namecycle. So what should I do? Should I cd() to "MySubDir" to load it in memory in the case it was not and use after FindObject("MySubDir") from the parent directory to get the pointer? I've noticed that FindObjectAny("MySubDir") loads "MySubDir" in memory and returns a pointer to the instance. However, I don't want to look for "MySubDir" in the subdirectories. Is there a nicer way to do what I want? Thank you Pierre-Luc Drouin
