Get GTOL (Feature control frames) in VBA.

Question

We want to get details of every GTOL (Feature control frames) created in on the every sheet (sheet wise). session.GetModelWindow(model).Activate()

sheet = model

Dim drawing = CType(model, IpfcDrawing)
 Dim nsheets = drawing.NumberOfSheets

Dim sheetData = drawing.GetSheetData(1)
 Dim test = drawing.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_ANNOTATION_ELEM)
 Dim mItem = CType(sheet, IpfcModelItemOwner)

Dim feats = mItem.ListItems(EpfcModelItemType.EpfcITEM_GTOL)But we cant get any GTOL in feats.We tried quering dimensions, we get those dimensions. but from mulitple sheets.How can i get GTOLs. how we can understand to which sheet they belong.
