How to use APIDo_GoToViewID with a NavItem?

hehey evrybody!

The ACAPI_Automate Call has this cool feature where you can call "APIDo_GoToViewID"

and there are even a few posts about this method:

this one is very helpfull since it says exactly waht to do: Convert a API_Guid to as GS::Guid and then to a c string.

But unfortunaltly waht ever i do, i allways get a APIERR_BADPARS error. i tried evry possible flavour, no luck.

example:

API_Guid to GS::Guid with "APIGuid2GSGuid(guid1)", then GS::Guid to GS::String with "ToString()" and then to const char * with "ToCStr()"

i retrieve the GUID of the navigator item trough APINavigator_SearchNavigatorItemID and im using the navItem.guid.

i want to open a NavItem and not go trough an API_Element like in the example.

does anyone have a tipp?

@SzokeFerenc was so nice to help me out with this one:

GS::Guid itemGuid = APIGuid2GSGuid(item.guid);
char guidStr[256] = "0";
GSErrcode err = itemGuid.ConvertToString(guidStr);

Thank you very much!! 🙂
