#include "l_bitmap.h"
L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_GetFileCommentSize(pszFile, uType, uLength, pLoadOptions)
L_TCHAR* pszFile; |
/* file name */ |
L_UINT uType; |
/* type of comment */ |
L_UINT* uLength; |
/* pointer to the size, in bytes, of the comment field */ |
pLOADFILEOPTION pLoadOptions; |
/* pointer to optional extended load options */ |
Gets the size, in bytes, of the comments.
Parameter |
Description |
pszFile |
Character string containing the FlashPix file name. |
uType |
The type of comment. Refer to Types of File Comments. A group of comments may be obtained such as CMNT_FPXSUMMARYINFORMATION, or more than one group of comments may be retrieved by using OR as in CMNT_FPXSUMMARYINFORMATION | CMNT_FPXFILESOURCEGROUP, or all comments may be obtained by using CMNT_ALL. See "Example" under L_ReadFileCommentExt. For more information concerning FlashPix file comments,see FlashPix File Comments. |
uLength |
Pointer to the size of the comments requested. |
pLoadOptions |
Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options. |
Returns
SUCCESS |
The function was successful. |
< 1 |
An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
Comments
Presently this function only works with FlashPix files.
To write comments to a file, all the comments you wish to add to a file must be set using L_SetComment. L_SetComment sets each comment individually, but it does not save the comments to the file, it prepares the values for the next save. Once all comments are set, the comments are saved using any function which saves files, such as L_SaveFile or L_SaveBitmap when creating a new file. If you wish to change a comment in an existing file, use L_WriteFileCommentExt.
The basic order of function calls for reading comments is as follows:
|
Get the size of the comments with L_GetFileCommentSize |
|
Allocate a buffer of a corresponding size. |
|
Read the comments with L_ReadFileCommentExt or L_ReadFileComment. |
|
Free the buffer |
