LFileSettings::GetPreLoadFilters

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_SSIZE_T LFileSettings::GetPreLoadFilters(pszFilters, uSize, pnFixedFilters, pnCachedFilters)

L_TCHAR * pszFilters;	/* pointer to a character string to be updated with filters */
L_SIZE_T uSize;	/* size in bytes of pszFilters */
L_INT * pnFixedFilters;	/* pointer to a variable to be updated */
L_INT * pnCachedFilters;	/* pointer to a variable to be updated */

Retrieves the current preloaded filters list.

Parameter	Description
pszFilters	Pointer to a character string to be updated with the current preloaded filters list.
uSize	The size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by pszFilters.
pnFixedFilters	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of filters that should stay loaded in memory at all times. Pass NULL if it is not required.
pnCachedFilters	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of filters that should be loaded. Pass NULL if it is not required.

Returns

>=0	The size in bytes of the preloaded filters list.
< 0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

In case the current preloaded filters list should be changed, call this function before calling the LFileSettings::PreloadFilters function.

The preload filters list contains the list of fixed and cached filters. For more information, refer to LFileSettings::PreloadFilters.

To retrieve the preloaded filters list, the user should:

1.	Call the function passing pszFilters as NULL and uSize as 0 to retrieve the size required for the filters list as returned value.
2.	Allocate a buffer of size (Returned Value * sizeof(L_TCHAR)).
3.	Call the function passing the allocated buffer to the pszFilters and the returned value to uSize to retrieve the filters list.
