Visual Basic

Public Function CreateNewObjectExQuick( _
   ByVal ObjectType As Long, _
   ByVal Properties As PropertyValues, _
   Optional ByVal SourceFiles As SourceObjectFiles = 0, _
   Optional ByVal SFD As Boolean = False, _
   Optional ByVal CheckIn As Boolean = True, _
   Optional ByVal AccessControlList As AccessControlList = 0 _
) As Long

Parameters

ObjectType

The object type for the new object as the object type ID number.

Properties

The collection of the property values for the new object.

SourceFiles

The collection of the source files for the new object.

SFD

If this parameter is True, the new object is created as a single-file document.

CheckIn

If this parameter is True, the new object should be checked in immediately.

AccessControlList

The access control list for the new object.

In scripting languages, a specific null value (e.g., Nothing in VBScript) should be used to indicate the default value.

Return Type

The ID number of the created object.

Remarks

At a minimum, the property values collection needs to contain property values and other required property definitions for the object class.

In the current implementation this method is not fully transactional. For example, if the source file(s) cannot be uploaded the newly created object is left checked out and cannot be accessed from the M-Files UI.

This method is available only if M-Files API is used in the server interface mode.
