How to add a visible to current user search condition when searching for value list items?

Question

Hi! 
 
 Using VAF, is there a way to add a visible to current user search condition when searching for value list items? I know it's possible to add that condition when executing a normal search and I have used it successfully before like this: 
 
 var sc = new SearchCondition(); 
 sc.Expression.SetPermissionExpression(MFPermissionsExpressionType.MFVisibleTo); sc.ConditionType = MFConditionType.MFConditionTypeEqual; sc.TypedValue.SetValue(MFDataType.MFDatatypeLookup, env.CurrentUserID); 
 
 However I can't find a way to do a similar thing when searching for value list items using this: 
 
 env.Vault.ValueListItemOperations.SearchForValueListItems 
 
 Is it even possible and if not, are there any workarounds? 
 
 Kind regards 
 Jussi

I wouldn't say that this is the wrong way at all. As you said: writing UIX code is a pain sometimes. 
 There is one additional thing I'd highlight: vault extension methods can be told to run "as" the calling user: 
 [VaultExtensionMethod("MyVaultExtensionMethod",
 RequiredVaultAccess = MFVaultAccess.MFVaultAccessNone,
 // The vault user identity says that the vault should
 // be connected as the current user, not the server account.
 VaultUserIdentity = EventHandlerVaultUserIdentity.User)]
private string MyVaultExtensionMethod(EventHandlerEnvironment env)
{
 throw new System.NotImplementedException();
} 
 I haven't tried this with the exact search you're looking at, but that'd be my first approach.
