Need help accessing sub form fields

Hello all,

This is my third post regardig this issue and I’m yet to find a solution.

I’m trying to access fields within a form using the Lotus C++ 3.0 toolkit. The problem is that LNForm.GetFormFields() gets me all the fields in the main form, but not the ones in any of its subforms. All these subforms are normal subforms(i.e. not calculated subforms). The C++ toolkit documentation says that Form.GetFormFields() will retrieve all the fields in the form, including sub forms, but this isn’t happening.

I know there are other ways of accessing subform fields ,for example by using the form body and navigating through it, but I would like to take that approach only if I know for sure this particular APIs fails (or why it is failing). Doing that in my application anyways would need a complete architechtural overhaul.

So please anyone, let me know if any of you have come across this issue? ANY help would be really appreciated. IBM tech team guys, please help me out here.

Look, it may just be broken. It happens. Obviously, you must be using the call correctly, or you wouldn’t be getting the out array of form fields, right? If you want the techies to look at it, you really ought to log a bug report. In the meantime, you’ll either have to work around by navigating the form (or dropping down to the C API, which I understand won’t be nearly as much fun).
