Checks whether a library part unique ID refers to a subtype of another.

    GSErrCode ACAPI_Goodies (
        APIAny_CheckLibPartSubtypeOfbyMainID,
        char*     successorUnIDStr,
        char*     predecessorUnIDStr
    );

 

Parameters

successorUnIDStr

[in] the unique ID of the subtype.

predecessorUnIDStr

[in] the unique ID of the expected ancestor.

 

Return Values

NoError

The function has completed with success and the ancestry holds.

APIERR_NOTSUBTYPEOF

The function has completed with success but the first one is not a subtype of the second.

APIERR_BADPARS

any of the parameters are nullptr.

For other common API errors see the API Errors document.

 

Remarks

This function is used to verify that a library part identified by its unique ID is a subtype of the other one identified only by the main part of its unique ID.

No existence check is performed for the predecessor.

It checks for real ancestry so returns APIERR_NOTSUBTYPEOF for equal unique IDs as well.

 

Requirements

Version: API 12 or later
