Iterating subwebs

[Abhi]

I am using FP OM to iterate and list web folders/files. Is there a way I can iterate a subweb ? When I come across a WebFolder that has IsWeb flag set to true, I cannot iterate its folders/files. One way to do it would be to open the subweb and iterate it separately. But that opens another FP window and I want to avoid it if I can. Is there any other way

FP hyperlink dialog jumps over the subweb boundaries with ease. So I feel there has to be an alternative

Thanks in advance

I think you would have to open the subweb's root folder
through the file system, in typical VB6 fashion.

I am using FP OM to iterate and list web folders/files.

Is there a way I can iterate a subweb ? When I come across

iterate its folders/files. One way to do it would be to
open the subweb and iterate it separately. But that opens
another FP window and I want to avoid it if I can. Is

Thanks for your feedback. But I cannot do that. The web could be a disk web or a served web. The solution will work for disk webs but not for served webs

Another thing I noticed was that FP hyperlink dialog opens the subwebs as webs and iterates them. But somehow, it manages to do this wihout opening the WebWindow. Both Add and Open methods of the Webs collection open the WebWindow. I am looking for another method to open the web without the WebWindow. Does anyone know how to do that ?

The second parameter of the Open method for the Webs collection is of type
FpWebOpenFlags. Setting the fpOpenNoWindow flag will do what you want.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize that parameter because I am looking at FP2k OM as I need my addin to be compatible with FP2k. How do I do it in FP2k ?

Do it in a new WebWindow. Unless you explicitly make that WebWindow
visible, it won't be.

Thanks once again. When I call Webs.Add/Open, a WebWindow is opened automatically. I can hide it but that will cause the window to appear for a short time and then disappear. I want to avoid that if I can
Some more observations
I created a VB app that monitors OnWebOpen event of FP app. The code looks something like
=======================================
Option Explici

Dim WithEvents oApp As Applicatio

Private Sub Form_Load(
Set oApp = Applicatio
End Su

Private Sub oApp_OnWebOpen(ByVal pWeb As FrontPage.Web
Debug.Print "web open: " & pWeb.URL & " " & (pWeb.ActiveWebWindow Is Nothing
End Su
=========================

With this app running, if I double click a subweb in FP folder list, I get a WebOpen event first with no active WebWindow and then the WebWindow is opened. Similarly if I browse to a subweb in hyperlink dialog, I get a WebOpen event with no active WebWindow and no window opens. But if I open a web programmatically ( with the command1 button above ), a WebWindow opens first and then I get a WebOpen event with a active WebWindow. This forces me to think that there has to another way to open the webs. Am I correct ? Am I missing something

Thanks in advance

Abhi,

If you create a new WebWindow (not a new Web, but a new WebWindow), that
WebWindow will not be visible unless you explicitly set it as visible.
