WinCreateObject(className, titleOfObject, setupString, location, creationFlags)
Creates an instance of the object specified by className, having the title specified by titleOfObject, and places the icon and title in the location specified by location.

Parameters

className - PSZ - input
Class name of object.
titleOfObject - PSZ - input
The title to appear, when displayed, underneath an icon or in the titlebar, of the open object.
setupString - PSZ - input
See the description for the Workplace WPLaunchPad for a table of setup strings to customize the Toolbar.
location - PSZ - input
The value can be in the following formats:

Any predefined system folder object ids:

  • "<WP_NOWHERE>" The hidden folder.
  • "<LOCATION_DESKTOP>" The currently active desktop.
  • "<WP_OS2SYS>" The System folder.
  • "<WP_TEMPS>" The Templates folder.
  • "<WP_CONFIG>" The System Setup folder.
  • "<WP_START>" The Startup folder.
  • "<WP_INFO>" The Information folder.
  • "<WP_DRIVES>" The Drives folder.

The real name as a fully qualified path name.

creationFlags - ULONG - input

One of the following:

  • CO_FAILIFEXISTS - No object will be created if an object with the given object ID already exists. This is the default.
  • CO_REPLACEIFEXISTS - If an object with the given ID already exists, the existing object should be replaced.
  • CO_UPDATEIFEXISTS - If an object with the given ID already exists, the existing object should be updated with the new information.

Constants

See the paramters section.

Returns

APIRET with values of:

Define (C/C++)

INCL_WINWORKPLACE

Calling conversion

Cdecl32

Example Code

PSZ    className;
PSZ    titleOfObject;
PSZ    setupString;
PSZ    location;
ULONG  creationFlags;
APIRET rc;
...
rc = WinCreateObject(className, titleOfObject, setupString, location, creationFlags);

Notes

setupString contains "key=value" pairs that dictate the behavior of the object. Keyname/values are separated by semicolons, and values (per keyname) are separated by commas. For example,

"key1=value1,value2,value3;key2=value1;key3=value1,value2;key4=value1"

To have a literal comma or semicolon inside one of the fields the must be escaped with the carot character.

  • ^;
  • ^,

For example key/value pairs see the Workplace Shell objects:
