'Declaration
 
Public Function GetBookmarkNextID( _
   ByVal BookmarkID As Integer _
) As Integer

public int GetBookmarkNextID( 
   int BookmarkID
)

public function GetBookmarkNextID( 
    BookmarkID: Integer
): Integer;

public function GetBookmarkNextID( 
   BookmarkID : int
) : int;

public: int GetBookmarkNextID( 
   int BookmarkID
)

public:
int GetBookmarkNextID( 
   int BookmarkID
)

Parameters

BookmarkID: A unique bookmark identifier specifying a required bookmark object.
You can obtain this identifier using these methods: NewBookmark, GetBookmarkRootID, GetBookmarkFirstChildID, GetBookmarkPrevID or GetBookmarkParentID.

Return Value

A unique bookmark identifier of the next bookmark item located on the same level as the specified bookmark item. The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any. For example, if the specified bookmark item has no other next bookmark items available on the same level in the hierarchy, the value of GdPictureStatus.PropertyNotFound is returned.

Example

Both examples shows you how to find out the next (sibling) bookmark item of a specified bookmark.

This example shows you all bookmark items (displaying their titles), which are located on the same level as the root bookmark.
