• NoError - The function has completed with success.
• APIERR_BADPARS - viewPointData was nullptr. viewPointData.itemType was API_NavigatorAddOnViewPointUndefinedID.
• APIERR_BADID - viewPointData.guid is already used, i.e. an object already exists with the same GUID. Note: if viewPointData.guid was set to APINULLGuid, a GUID is generated for the Navigator root group or group to be created, and this error can never come. viewPointData.parentGuid does not designate an already existing viewpoint group.
• APIERR_NOACCESSRIGHT - The function was called in teamwork mode, and a root or group was to be created.

Remarks

Creating a root group: Set viewPointData.itemType to API_NavigatorAddOnViewPointRootID. When creating a root group, viewPointData.parentGuid and viewPointData.viewSettingsFlags is ignored. If viewPointData.guid was provided on input, the function creates a root group with the given GUID. If an object with the same GUID already exists, the function returns APIERR_BADID. Creating a group Set viewPointData.itemType to API_NavigatorAddOnViewPointGroupID. When creating a group, viewPointData.viewSettingsFlags is ignored. If viewPointData.guid was provided on input, the function creates a group with the given GUID. If an object with the same GUID already exists, the function returns APIERR_BADID. Creating a leaf node Set viewPointData.itemType to API_NavigatorAddOnViewPointNodeID. viewPointData.guid is ignored. A leaf node is always created with an internally generated GUID. Note: In teamwork mode you cannot create, change or delete viewpoint roots or groups.

Example

This example creates a root group, a group and a leaf node, and then verifies, that the created leaf node has the expected content.
