Hi Kim,
It seems XSI doesn't like the empty string parameter in AddInputPortByClassID.
If I replace the line :
newOp.AddInputPortByClassID( siPrimitiveID , L"",
oProfilePortGroup.GetIndex(), 0, siOptionalInputPort );
by
oOp.AddInputPortByClassID( siPrimitiveID ,
L"MyInputPortName",oProfilePortGroup.GetIndex(), 0L,
siOptionalInputPort );
in your code snippet then it connects fine.
Could you confirm this?
Cheers,
Fred.
