Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (October 2004) |
The IDirectMusicTrack8 interface represents a track object, which can store any kind of data for a segment.
The methods of this interface are typically not called directly by applications. However, if you want to install your own data playback mechanism in DirectMusic, you must create a track object to represent it. The track object must also support the IPersistStream interface for loading its data.
IDirectMusicTrack8 supersedes the IDirectMusicTrack interface and adds new methods.
Note When implementing methods of the IDirectMusicTrack8 interface, be sure not to hold onto references to objects passed in. For example, if IDirectMusicTrack8::Init adds a reference to the IDirectMusicSegment interface that it receives as a parameter, ensure that this reference is released.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDirectMusicTrack8 interface exposes the following methods, arranged by category.
