I'm using the longtable environment to display a number of figures. I'd like to include a caption at the bottom of the first page as a Figure caption, not as a table (so that it also shows up in the list of figures, not list of tables). I found in another post how to define a new figcaption, but I'm getting a "you can't use \hrule here" error when I compile the following code.
It works when I use figcaption outside of the longtable environment, but I need it to be at the bottom of the first page.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{longtable}
\makeatletter
\def\figcaption{%
\refstepcounter{figure}%
\@dblarg{\@caption{figure}}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\begin{longtable}[h]{cc}
\endfirsthead
\endhead
\figcaption{This should be a figure caption}\label{fig:MyFigRef}
\endfoot
\endlastfoot
\rule{5cm}{5cm} & \rule{5cm}{5cm} \\
\rule{5cm}{5cm} & \rule{5cm}{5cm} \\
\rule{5cm}{5cm} & \rule{5cm}{5cm} \\
\rule{5cm}{5cm} & \rule{5cm}{5cm} \\

\end{longtable}
\end{document}
