These methods return an HRESULT indicating whether they completed successfully. See the Error Values section for more details.
Error Values
[C++] These methods return S_OK (0x00000000) to indicate success and standard COM HRESULT error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object, which can be accessed using the API function GetErrorInfo. In particular, the GetDescription method of the IErrorInfo interface may return a text description of the error.
[Visual Basic] This property sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to standard COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
The following table describes the custom COM errors this method can return.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
E_CAT_VC_NOT_A_SUPPLIER_CATALOG | [C++] 0x889800F9 [Visual Basic] &H889800F9 |

Remarks
Products and categories can have multiple parent-child relationships. Specifying a primary parent for a product or category simplifies the hierarchy and clarifies the application of pricing rules.
Note
- This property cannot be modified in a virtual catalog. Inherited hierarchy and relationship links cannot be removed or changed in inherited categories. To modify inherited relationships, use a Category object obtained from the base Catalog object. If the category being added as a primary parent is not a parent category, then it will also be added as a parent category for the product.
