info about createInfo.request in CreateObjectEx()

Hello, I'm wondering if there is any way to know what parameters a subtype requires when an object of its type is created via the CreateObjectEx() method. It seems that the createInfo.request assoc should be populated by the fields that were specified in the Prototype() method for that object's create action, is there a way to request this information? I don't see any way mentioned in the LAPI documentation. If there was a way it would be extremely helpful!Thanks!Dawn

Message from chris meyer via eLinkHi,The parameters for each subtype are documented on the same page as the CreateObjectEx() method.cheers,chriseLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion wrote:>info about createInfo.request in CreateObjectEx()>Posted by VIZDOMAdmin on 09/21/2004 07:52 PM>>Hello, >I'm wondering if there is any way to know what parameters a subtype requires when an object of its type is created via the CreateObjectEx() method.

Hi Chris, I guess I should clarify my question, while it's true the parameters are documented for some of the Livelink standard types, I'm looking for a general solution that will handle custom types. For example, if the system had a custom subtype that was derived from a document, with a couple extra fields that were to be filled out at the create time, I'm looking for a method that would return to me what needed to be in createInfo.request (the names of those fields, their type, etc. just like you would find in Prototype().) I suspect no such method exists, but it certainly would be useful.

Message from chris meyer via eLinkHi,I can't think of a way to expose the interface with the LAPI classes or within Livelink. The parameters are not defined in a common way (i.e., with a Prototype). Access to these variables usually happen in the llnode.NodeCreateSubclassPre() or llnode.NodeCreateSubclassPost() functions, so this is a good place to look for a node in question. What you propose, of course, would be ideal.Sorry I can't be of more help, chriseLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion wrote:>Hi Chris,>Posted by VIZDOMAdmin on 09/22/2004 11:48 AM>>Hi Chris, >I guess I should clarify my question, while it's true the parameters are documented for some of the Livelink standard types, I'm looking for a general solution that will handle custom types.
