DialogMethod with MultiSelectEntity

Question

Version 7.1.3 
 
 I tried to write a dialog method for multiselectable objects. 
 In the meantime I've found out that there was a change from version 6 to 7 concering that: https://support.oneidentity.com/identity-manager/kb/242294/multiselectobject-detection-in-dialogmethod-not-working-anymore-in-version-7-and-later 
 
 Even the out of the box methods: "Remove from all shelves (IT Shop)" doesn't work anymore for multiselect. 
 
 The new "If TypeOf Entity Is MultiSelectEntity Then" works. 
 But how has the iteration afterward to be implemented? 
 Dim msobj As MultiSelectObject = CType (Base, MultiSelectObject) 
 For Each obj As ISingleDbObject In msobj 
 doesn't work neither. 
 
 I've tried to replace with the new values, but somehow I don't get it up and running. 
 
 Does anyone have the solution for that? 
 What's a working code for iterating over a MultiSelectEntity?

Thing is, that you need to use the new entity based object layer hence the change to MultiSelectEntity . 
 I've taken the following sample code from the out of the box method "Remove from all shelves (IT Shop)" from a 7.1.4 database. 
 Dim msobj As MultiSelectEntity = CType(Entity, MultiSelectEntity)
For Each obj In msobj
	obj.CallMethod("RemoveFromITShop")
Next 
 In addition, ensure that the task behavior is configured to allow it to be executed on multiple objects.
