XToolkitObsoleteFunc with C++ otk in Creo 9.0.0.0 for pfcComponentFeat::GetModelDescr()

[PAULR_UK]

I am attempting to get a c++ otk creo adding to work with Creo 9.0.0.0. I have the plugin working in 8.0.0.0 and 8.0.3.0 with the following code:

[ I should note that I have used the 8.0.0.0 otk libs to build against as that was the original target version - my issue may just be that I have to build against 9.0.0.0 protk and otk libraries - I will try that if that is confirmed to be the case]

pfcFeature_ptr childFp = childFeatures->get(i);
pfcComponentFeat_ptr compPtr = pfcComponentFeat::cast(childFp);
pfcModelDescriptor_ptr mdlPartInstDesc = compPtr->GetModelDescr(); <== exception thrown here

and ultimately I need to obtain the child model using the Model Descriptor and the current session

pfcModel_ptr childMdl = currentSession->RetrieveModel(mdlPartInstDesc);

However I get an exception pfcExceptions::XToolkitObsoleteFunc
{
Message : "pfcExceptions::XToolkitObsoleteFunc"
MethodName : "pfcModel::Model::Descr<get>"
ToolkitFunctionName : "ProMdlDataGet"
}

thrown when I call compPtr->GetModelDescr(). I do not see this function listed as obsolete in /PTC/Creo 9.0.0.0/Common Files/otk_cpp_doc/Otk_Cxx_RelNotes.pdf

Hi Paul

ProMdlDataGet is TK and it is obsolete. So it gets automatically replaced by using the new 9.0 sources.

So yes, you need to get the Creo 9.0 sources and build against them.
