Remarks

Use this method to:

  • copy a file from another folder that is either inside the vault or outside of it.
  • create a new, empty file.

Use:

To add multiple files to this folder, use IEdmFolder6::AddFiles to add them all at once, which is more efficient than adding them one at a time using this method.

Return codes:

  • S_OK: The method successfully executed.
  • E_EDM_PERMISSION_DENIED: The user lacks permission to add files to this folder.
  • E_EDM_NAME_ALREADY_EXISTS: There is already a file with the specified name in this folder.
  • E_EDM_INVALID_NAME: The suggested file name is invalid.
  • E_EDM_FILE_SHARE_ERROR: The source or destination file is opened exclusively by another program.
  • E_EDM_FILE_NOT_FOUND: The source file could not be found.
  • E_EDM_OPERATION_REFUSED_BY_PLUGIN: One of the installed EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PreAdd hooks did not permit the operation.

 

To create a virtual document in a folder, pass an empty string as the source file. For example:

eFolder.AddFile(Me.Handle.ToInt32, '', path, 0)
