How do I access a saved StarTeam query via the SDK?

Question

I have a saved public query (created via the StarTeam UI).

Rather than recreate it programmatically via the SDK (which is cumbersome), I'd like to be able to create a QueryInfo object based on the saved public query. The QueryInfoFactory seems only able to create new QueryInfo objects and provides no mechanism to load an existing query.

You don't mention what language you're working with. In .NET, I think you could do something like this:

String lockedQueryName = "GetLockedFilesQuery";
Borland.StarTeam.Type ftType = STProject.DefaultView.Server.TypeForName(STProject.TypeNames.FILE);
STProject.DefaultView.Server.RefreshTypes();
Query query = ftType.Queries.FindByName(lockedQueryName, true); 

Where lockedQueryName is the name of your saved query. And STProject is of type Borland.StarTeam.Project and set to your project.
