I'm trying to programmatically determine which component a BOM balloon is attached to in an assembly drawing.

So far, in VBA, I'm using iAnnotation.GetAttachedEntities3 and then iEntity.GetComponent.  This works well unless the note is attached to a silhouette edge in which case I get a "Type Mismatch" when I attempt to set the result from iAnnotation.GetAttachedEntities3 to an variable defined as a SldWorks.Entity type.

With SolidWorks 2013, I actually could use iAnnotation.GetAttachedEntities2 and it would work with silhouette edges.  However, now in SolidWorks 2014 that "trick" doesn't work.

So my question is if there is a different (better??) approach that I should be using.
