Hi,

maybe wpclsQueryError returns an error. Some wps methods use wpclsSetError
internally to set an error.
You have to bracket the call to wpQueryIconTextVisibility:

wpclsSetError(...,0UL)
wpQueryIconTextVisibility(....)
error = wpclsQueryError(...)

if error <> 0UL, then this tells you that wpQueryIconTextVisibility set an
error internally. The error constants are defined in the WPS programming
reference I think.

1.) wpSetIconTextVisibility does not give any return value
2.) wpSetIconTextVisibility will only work for ICON and TREE view
3.) have you tried wpSetIconTextVisibility(...,ICON_TEXT_VISIBLE,OPEN _CONTENTS,TRUE) for an ICON
view ? That should give you an immediate visible feedback for any already opened ICON view.
4.) wpSetIconTextVisibility(...,ICON_TEXT_VISIBLE,OPEN _TREE,TRUE) for a TREE view as for 2.)

That won't give you anything different. RWS just invokes the object methods.

Thanks Lars!!

Part of the issue was making sure I had the right call in RWS (that the
returned type is void). As for the rest of it, since you *can* give
this a user defined view type, it seems that other views and visibility
values are never flagged as errors (at least wpQueryError always seems
happy). So this method had no way to return an error occurred directly
nor does it notify anyone if there is one.
