c# - MSDN OneNote Api: Navigate to never before opened page without opening a OneNote Application Window -

my goal able use c# programmatically open .one section file , of section's page ids. in simple case (one have created , used section), can done following code:

using microsoft.office.interop.onenote; class program {     public static void processonenotefile()     {         application onenoteapp = new application();         string filepath = @"c:\users\admin\documents\onenote notebooks\my notebook\testsection.one";         string sectionid;         onenoteapp.openhierarchy(filepath, null, out sectionid);         string hierarchy;         onenoteapp.gethierarchy(sectionid, hierarchyscope.hspages, out hierarchy);         file.writealltext(@"c:\hierarchy.txt", hierarchy);     } } 

from here can parse xml find pageids , go.

the problem, however, want files getting else , have never opened before. when run same code on files, cannot find pageids in hierarchy, , therefore, cannot process pages. fix seems work use navigateto method open section file in onenote before trying hierarchy.

 ...  string sectionid;  onenoteapp.openhierarchy(filepath, null, out sectionid);  onenoteapp.navigateto(sectionid);  string hierarchy  ... 

this, however, quite annoying need open onenote application. since have many .one section files process lot of random information flashing across screen not necessary , might confuse end users of program. there way can achieve same result of adding pageids hierarchy without needing open onenote application? @ least, there way can hide application?

update:

i noticed using publish command updates hierarchy pageids, however, solution still not ideal requires me make anotehr file.

also, looking more closely @ xml export, saw there attribute called "areallpagesavailable" set false me on files have yet open in onenote.

woohoo! after couple hours of playing around , google searching different methods, have found after.

solution: synchierarchy(sectionid);

...         string sectionid;         onenoteapp.openhierarchy(onenotefile, null, out sectionid, createfiletype.cftsection);          onenoteapp.synchierarchy(sectionid);          string hierarchy;         onenoteapp.gethierarchy(sectionid, hierarchyscope.hspages, out hierarchy); ...
