hi, i m facing issue while trying to add folders to a .book. Here's what i have done.
I have created a book

bookName=F_StrCopyString((StringT)"E:\\Createbook\\input\\test.book");
newbookId=F_ApiNewNamedObject(FV_SessionId,FO_Book,bookName);

and added a chapter to it.

StringT chapName=F_StrCopyString((StringT)"E:\\Createbook\\input\\b_cli.fm");
elemId = F_ApiNewSeriesObject(newbookId,FO_BookComponent,0);
F_ApiSetString(newbookId, elemId, FP_Name,chapName);
if(F_StrLen(chapName)) {
F_ApiDeallocateString(&chapName);
}

After adding the chapter , I am calling the following function to create part:

F_ObjHandleT FM_InsertFolderComponentInBook ( F_ObjHandleT bookId, F_ObjHandleT parentId, StringT compName)
{
F_ObjHandleT partId;
F_ElementLocT elemLoc;
IntT fileCount = 1;

if ( !parentId )
parentId = F_ApiGetId ( FV_SessionId, bookId, FP_HighestLevelElement );
elemLoc.parentId = parentId;
elemLoc.childId = 0;
elemLoc.offset = 0;
partId= F_ApiNewBookComponentOfTypeInHierarchy ( bookId, compName, FV_BK_FOLDER, &elemLoc);
return partId;
}

However, part is not getting generated as parentId is comming null. Can anyone please help me create folder component in a .book using FDK11?
I am facing this issue if i am scripting using FDK11 but in FDK 10,its running fine. Is this an FKD11 library issue or i am missing anything in the code.
Kindly help.

.

Hi,

Are you saying that this call returns null:

parentId = F_ApiGetId ( FV_SessionId, bookId, FP_HighestLevelElement );

The only way that could happen is if it is an unstructured book. Is your book structured, with a structure tree, etc? Also, is it correct that it works with the FDK10 libraries but not FDK11? I didn't quite understand that statement.
