[AI 10]How to create a Spot Swatch(CMYK&RGB)?

[KatMus]

Hi,

Please tell how to create a spot color swatch & add it to the swatches pallette in Illustrator 10.

I want to specify the swatches name,color(CMYG,RGB)& type(Spot or Process).

I tried the following itdoes not give the desired output:

AICustomColor customData;
AICustomColorHandle newColor;

strcpy((char*)customData.name ,"PANTONE 119 C");

customData.c.f.cyan = 0.75;
customData.c.f.magenta =0;
customData.c.f.yellow = 0.50;
customData.c.f.black = 0;
customData.flag = kCustomSpotColor;
customData.kind = kCustomFourColor;

error = sAIColor->NewCustomColor(&customData,&newColor );

AIDocumentHandle document = NULL;
error = sDocument->GetDocument(&document);

AISwatchListRef swatchList;
error = sAISwatch->GetSwatchList(document, &swatchList);

AISwatchRef swatch = NULL;

swatch = sAISwatch->GetSwatchByName(swatchList, (char*)customData.name);

swatch = sAISwatch->InsertNthSwatch(swatchList, 3);


error = sAISwatch->SetSwatchName(swatch, (char*)customData.name);

AIColor aicolor;
aicolor.kind=kCustomColor;
aicolor.c.c.tint = 0.75;
aicolor.c.c.color = newColor;
error = sAISwatch->SetAIColor(swatch, &aicolor);

Please suggest where i go wrong?

I'm afraid this outside of my realm of expertise, having never tried this. Hopefully someone else can lend a hand here.
