You're welcome;-) 

I found the necessary classes. However I have a further question. I'd like
to implement this very functionality in my plugin. What's the best way to
do it? When I copy the class's source code I have to import many internal
packages and I get a "restricted access" message. Is there a better way to
implement this functionality? Or can I suppress the warnings? What does
this message mean btw?
