trying to find the build order for a batch build from the API

I'm trying to find the projects/configs selected to be built in a batch build by the user. Solution is easy, just loop through them all. Project is easy by using selected items. Batch, I can't find. I've tried looping through every possible function that produces a project name through EnvDTE and VCProjectsEngineLibrary. There just has to be something I missed.

I'm having the same problem. I don't thinks this is exposed in the automation model. Can anyone confirm?

Just checking, but did you find an easier way to get the solution build projects/order than the following algorithm:

Get a list of projects in the solution
Filter the list to only projects selected to be built
Apply a directed graph sort to get a valid build order (not necessarily the same one the IDE has chosen)

Thanks, Sam
