APINavigator_SearchNavigatorItemID question

Hello Everybody!

 

I'm experimenting with the ACAPI_Navigator functions. My question is why does included code part only find navigator items with type: API_StoryNavItem, API_PerspectiveNavItem and API_AxonometryNavItem?

GS::Array<API_NavigatorItem> possible_items;
possible_items.Clear();
GS::Array<API_NavigatorItem> found;
API_NavigatorItem nav_item;
nav_item.mapId = API_PublicViewMap;

for (Int32 type_ID = API_UndefinedNavItem; type_ID <= API_DrawingNavItem; type_ID++)
{
    nav_item.itemType = (API_NavigatorItemTypeID) type_ID;
    found.Clear();
    err = ACAPI_Navigator(APINavigator_SearchNavigatorItemID, &nav_item, nullptr, &found);
    ACAPI_WriteReport("TypeID: " + GS::ValueToUniString(type_ID) + " found: " + GS::ValueToUniString(found.GetSize()), true);
    if (err == NoError && found.GetSize() > 0)
    {
	possible_items.Append(found);
    }
						
}

I want to find all the NavigatorItems in the PublicViewMap, but this function seems to ignore sections and elevations and all other than above mentioned types. What other parameters of nav_item need to be set to get all the NavigatorItems?

Any help is appreciated!

Same here on both AC23 and AC26. No idea if that's intended (for whatever seemingly undocumented reason) or a bug.

 

Edit: FYI, I've worked around this issue by parsing the entire navigator map tree
