1. A method of interfacing to pre-existing software code, comprising:

  • providing a software wrapper capable of inheriting from at least a first application program interface (API) and a second API;

    delegating to a preexisting enumeration of objects for a call to the first API;

    creating a vector identifying elements of the enumeration;

    maintaining a positional cursor based on a call to the second API;

    comparing the positional cursor to the vector; and

    selectively extracting one or more additional elements from the enumeration based on the comparison of the positional cursor and the vector.
