Layout name returned with layout number?

Hi

I am trying to retrieve a list of all the layout names, but I get the layout number included with the name. My code looks something like this

for (GSIndex i = 0; i < nDbases; i++) {
API_DatabaseInfo dbPars;
BNZeroMemory (&dbPars, sizeof (API_DatabaseInfo));
dbPars.databaseUnId = dbases;

if (ACAPI_Database (APIDb_GetDatabaseInfoID, &dbPars, NULL) == NoError) {
API_LayoutInfo layoutSets;
if (ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_GetLayoutSetsID, &layoutSets, &dbPars.databaseUnId, NULL) == NoError) {
DBPrintf ("Layout Name-------------------------------------: %s\n", layoutSets.layoutName);
}
}
}

Any ideas on what I need to change? TIA.

Hi,

API_LayoutInfo has the Boolean member ‘doNotIncludeInNumbering’.
If ‘doNotIncludeInNumbering’ is true layoutName include the number, if false layoutName is only the Name.

Manipulate your string using ‘doNotIncludeInNumbering’ value, ‘customLayoutNumber’ and ‘customLayoutNumbering” or go to layout book select the checkbox “Do not include this Layout in ID sequence”.
