Easy way to add a folder?

[Liamraz]

Hi,

I'm looking for an easy way to add a folder into Livelink using VB/LAPI. Something along the lines of AddDocument would be great.

I'm currently using CreateObjectEx, but I can't grasp the createInfo just yet...

Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks!

Actually the concept is very easy.Evrything (folder,document,project,livereport) is a node in livelink which you create by using the subtype to the function.When yoy speciffy documentsubtype a document node(144) is created when you specify foldersubtype(0) a folder is created and like wise.The AddDocument function is like you say a one shot way of creating a document and adding content but it has severe limitations so the right method is really CreateObjectEx itself.

This shows you how I use the AddDocument call

in that piece of code see how I use the CATEGORYSUBTYPE
in your case it would be the foldersubtype.Check the lapi docs for  what those constants are.

status =doc.CreateObjectEx( volumeID, objectID, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.CATEGORYSUBTYPE, catName,

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
