Answer 1

I believe you add the field to the view by specifying the view display properties for the field and a VUI ID in the parameter ARDisplayInstanceList *dInstanceList.

If you look at the API guide for 7.6.04, on page 60 it reads:

Defining field display properties

Field display properties (AR_DPROP_*) fall into these categories:

• Those common to all schema views These display properties are collected in one ARPropList structure.
• Those specific to a particular schema view These display properties are collected in a series of additional ARPropList structures, each linked to a particular view (VUI). These view-specific property lists are represented by zero or more ARDisplayInstanceStruct structures.

I think you need to allocate and populate an ARDisplayInstanceList with the display properties and tie those display properties to the VUI ID. When you pass it in either your call to ARCreateField() or ARSetField() it should add the field to the view specified by the VUI ID.
