just create Dicomdir file.

[jake]

hi there.
now I create dicomdir file by general sample
("The following example shows how to create a general purpose DICOMDIR from multiple files:") in homepage.

I have created dicomdir file by 'Kdicom library'. and I will make viewer by dicom toolkit.
By the way we must use viewer by 'Kdicom library' for some time. so I create dicomdir file separately by Dicom toolkit
because there is only exe file of viewer by Kdicom.
I know dicomdir is Dicom standard. so I sucess creation dicomdir file by Dicom toolkit.
but Viewer by Kdicom cannot load dicomdir file.

I want to know how to create dicomdir file and check point for creation dicomdir file concretely.

There is no error.

Please advise, thanks a lot!
====================================== fixed coding for test
DicomDirInterface dicomdir;
OFCondition status = dicomdir.createNewDicomDir(DicomDirInterface::/*AP_GeneralPurpose*/AP_DentalRadiograph,
"D:\\Projects\\Debug\\MODULE\\CDR\\DICOMDIR",
DEFAULT_FILESETID);
if (!status.good())
return false;

dicomdir.addDicomFile("I0000001", "D:\\Projects\\Debug\\MODULE\\CDR\\Image");
dicomdir.addDicomFile("I0000002", "D:\\Projects\\Debug\\MODULE\\CDR\\Image");
dicomdir.addDicomFile("I0000003", "D:\\Projects\\Debug\\MODULE\\CDR\\Image");
dicomdir.addDicomFile("I0000004", "D:\\Projects\\Debug\\MODULE\\CDR\\Image");

status = dicomdir.writeDicomDir();

Are you sure that your DICOM viewer is a File-set Reader (FSR) for the "Dental Radiograph Interchange" Application Profile?
Have you checked the contents of the DICOMDIR file, e.g. using dcmdump from the DCMTK?

sorry, my DICOM viewer is a File-set Reader (FSR) for the "AP_GeneralPurpose" Application Profile.

Apparently, the DICOMDIR file is empty, or to be more precise: the DirectoryRecordSequence is empty.
I guess that your calls to addDicomFile() return an error. You should also check the returned OFCondition.

my DICOM viewer is a File-set Reader (FSR) for the "AP_GeneralPurpose" Application Profile.

Then, you should probably also generate a DICOMDIR for this Application Profile, right?
