[SOLVED] APIEnv_SearchNavigatorItemID not working correctly?

[Ben Cohen]

Hi All

I am trying to create an addon that searches through all navigator items and changes various view settings. All is working well but I have found the search is only working for floor plan and perspective view types.

the code below comes directly from the API devkit. It will loop through all the floor plan views. But if you change it to loop through sections - it will not work. (oddly - perspective views seem to work) (also setting db.typeID seems to have no effect)

I am changing this line of code
item.itemType = API_StoryNavItem;
to this
item.itemType = API_SectionNavItem

which will work with floor plans and perspectives - but nothing else??

any help - much appreciated!!

GSErrCode err = NoError;

API_DatabaseInfo db;
BNZeroMemory (&db, sizeof (API_DatabaseInfo));
db.typeID = APIWind_FloorPlanID;

API_NavigatorView   view;
API_NavigatorItem   parent;
API_NavigatorItem   item;
API_NavigatorItem** items = NULL;

BNZeroMemory (&item, sizeof (API_NavigatorItem));
item.itemType = API_StoryNavItem
item.mapId    = API_PublicViewMap;
db.typeID     = APIWind_FloorPlanID;

err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_SearchNavigatorItemID, &item, &items, NULL);
if (err != NoError || items == NULL)
    return;

char    str[256];
Int32   num;
Int32   n = BMhGetSize ((GSHandle) items) / sizeof (API_NavigatorItem);

ACAPI_WriteReport ("Stories of View Map:", false);

for (Int32 i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    sprintf (str, "%s", (*items).name);
    ACAPI_WriteReport (str, false);

    BNZeroMemory (&parent, sizeof (API_NavigatorItem));
    parent.mapId = API_PublicViewMap;
    err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_GetNavigatorParentItemID, (*items).guid, &parent, NULL);
    sprintf (str, " - parent name: %s", parent.name);
    ACAPI_WriteReport (str, false);

    err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_GetNavigatorChildNumID, &parent, &num, NULL);
    sprintf (str, " - number of children of the parent: %d", num);
    ACAPI_WriteReport (str, false);

    BNZeroMemory (&view, sizeof (API_NavigatorView));
    err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_GetNavigatorViewID, &((*items)), &view, NULL);
    if (view.saveLaySet) {
        if (view.layerCombination[0] != 0)
            sprintf (str, " - Layer combination: %s", view.layerCombination);
        else
            sprintf (str, " - Layers individual");
    } else {
        sprintf (str, " - none layers");
    }
    BMhKill ((GSHandle*) &view.layerStats);

    ACAPI_WriteReport (str, false);
}

BMhKill ((GSHandle *) &items);
