long Get_Construct_Child_Count(Construct_Identifier Construct_ID);

Parameters

Construct_Identifier Construct_ID: A construct identifier (generally name or UID).

Return Values

• Nonnegative: Number of construct children.
• Negative: Error code.

Remarks

This function retrieves the number of children belonging to the construct identified by Construct_ID.

If the construct by design has a variable number of children (block), the constant Variable_Child_Count is returned.

The function will fail if Construct_ID is not a valid identifier for a construct.

Construct_ID is a platform-dependent identifier.
