SOLUTION: Need some technical help with the FrameMaker FDK

["Stevens, Ananda" <Ananda.Stevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all--

Thought I'd let you know that we got a solution for the FDK 
problem: use the component ID explicitly instead of using 
FP_FirstComponentInBook. 

Mark says that with FP_FirstComponentInBook, he was probably 
getting the wrong ID or a non-existent ID -- and he never would
have thought of that on his own.

Try this for creating a component and making it a TOC:
 compId = F_ApiNewSeriesObject(bookId, FO_BookComponent, prevCompId);
   if (compId)
   {
     F_ApiSetId(bookId, compId, FP_PrevComponentInBook,  prevCompId);
     F_ApiSetInt(bookId, compId, FP_BookComponentIsGeneratable, True);
     F_ApiSetInt(bookId, compId, FP_BookComponentType, FV_BK_TOC);
   }
where prevCompId is the book component before the component you have just 
added.
