Comments

The convert object's settings can be saved to a stream by calling IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToStream. The convert object's settings can be saved to a file by calling IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToFile.

Settings saved to a file can be loaded using IltmmConvert::LoadSettingsFromFile. Settings saved to a stream can be loaded using IltmmConvert::LoadSettingsFromStream.

It may be helpful to call IltmmConvert::CanSaveObjectSettings before calling either IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToFile or IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToStream, to make sure the settings you want to save can be saved. If either IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToFile or IltmmConvert::SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save function will fail.

Multiple settings can be combined in the Flags parameter using the OR operator. However, please note that if settings are combined in the Flags parameter, all those settings must be capable of being saved in order for the CanSaveObjectSettings function to update the Status parameter with VARIANT_TRUE. If even one of those settings cannot be saved, then CanSaveObjectSettings will update the Status parameter with VARIANT_FALSE.
