LAPI_DOCUMENTS.CreateObjectEx() parameters description

Julia_Kuznetsov_(modususer1_-_(deleted))

There is no information on what parameters this method expects (other then the data types) in LAPI help.I can guess most of these parameters should be somewhat similar to LAPI_DOCUMENTS.CreateDocument() parameters, but there are 2 extra int param (p3 & p4) for CreateObjectEx that don't have any matching param in AddDocument().Please HELP!

Thanks a lot for the information about CreateObjectEx parameters.But there are still some unknowns for me, such as the contents of createInfo structure (i'm not able to find the description for it eihter in LAPI 0n-line doc)...I'm wondering if i have a different version of LAPI documentation, since in the copy (from SDK 9.0.0.1) I have, there is only a little mentioning of CreateObjectEx() function while describing AddDocument function.Also, there is no search option available in on-line documentation which makes it very hard to find any info...

Among the ways to bring up the LAPI online documentation you can probably enter the URL: ...\builder\documentation\lapi\frameset.htmlwhere "..." is the SDK/builder install directory.In the table of contents frame on the left side, there should be a list of links. Next to the links are triangle "buttons". Selecting a triangle-button expands that section's table of contents, displaying links to individual functions.In the Table of Contents frame, select the triangle-button next to the "Library API" link. This should expand the table of contents for the Library API section. In the expanded TOC, select the CreateObjectEx link. The description for the CreateObjectEx function should now be displayed in the right frame. The latter part of this description includes what the createInfo parameters needs.You could also enter,...\builder\documentation\lapi\lib_b_create.htmlinto your browser to bring up the page describing CreateObjectEx directly. (where "..." is the builder/sdk install directory)regards.
