How to identify a Table Row Selection

["Vorndran, Charles P" <Charles.Vorndran@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My apologies for starting another thread.  I needed to add a Subject and
clean up some wording.


I've taken over maintenance of some APIs developed for structured
FrameMaker.  My question relates to getting the F_ObjHandleT on a row, in a
table body, that is selected from the structure view.  Normally, with
selected elements, I can get the element range handle from 
	er = F_ApiGetElementRange(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_ElementSelection);
	where  'er'  is the FDK element range structure variable of type
F_ElementRangeT, a structure containing two F_ElementLocT structures, each
of which contains a handle to a parent and a child for the beginning and end
of the element range.

When the selection is any element in the body of document, such as a
list-item or a group of list-items, the F_ObjHandleT element ids are not
NULL.  However, when the selection is a table row, all the F_ObjHandleT
element ids are 0.  I've tried using the code snippet on page 119 of the FDK
7.0 Programmer's Guide, to try and drill down to determine where in the
table this range lives, and came up with "You are not in a table at all"

I know that table-rows are part of FO_Tbl and should themselves be
identified as FO_Row.  But even to get there, I think I need to get a handle
for the selection before I can test for its type.  

Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks
