   EdmFolderData poData
)

&   System.int lParentWnd,
&   System.String^ bsFolderName,
&   EdmFolderData^ poData
) 

Parameters

lParentWnd
Parent window handle
bsFolderName
Name of the new folder
poData
IEdmFolderData5; optional additional data (see Remarks)

Return Value

IEdmFolder5

Example

Remarks

To create all the folders in a path in one operation, call  IEdmFolder5::CreateFolderPath.

To add more than one folder, use IEdmBatchAddFolders to add them all at once, which is much more efficient than using this method, which adds folders only one at a time.

If poData is null, the user rights and file data card for the new folder are inherited from the parent folder.

C++ users not using smart-pointer wrapper functions must release the returned pointer to IEdmFolder5.

Return codes:

  • S_OK: The method successfully executed.
  • E_EDM_INVALID_NAME: The folder name contained invalid characters.
  • E_EDM_COULD_NOT_CREATE_LOCAL_FOLDER: Could not create the new folder in the local disk cache.
  • E_EDM_NAME_ALREADY_EXISTS: There is already a file or folder with the specified name in this folder.
  • E_EDM_FOLDER_NOT_FOUND: This folder has been deleted.
  • E_EDM_PERMISSION_DENIED: The user lacks permission to create sub-folders here.
  • E_EDM_OPERATION_REFUSED_BY_PLUGIN: The operation was not permitted by one of the installed EdmCmdData.EdmCmd_PreAddFolder hooks.
