HRESULT CreateDataObject(
  REFGUID rguidTemplate,
  LPCSTR szName,
  const GUID* pguid,
  DWORD cbSize,
  LPVOID pvData,
  LPDIRECTXFILEDATA* ppDataObj
);

Parameters

rguidTemplate

[in] Globally unique identifier (GUID) representing the data object's template.

szName

[in] Pointer to the name of the data object. Specify NULL if the object does not have a name.

pguid

[in] Pointer to a GUID representing the data object. Specify NULL if the object does not have a GUID.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DXFILE_OK.

If the method fails, the return value can be one of the following values.

Remarks

If a data reference object will reference the data object, either the szName or pguid parameter must be non-NULL.

Save any templates by using the IDirectXFileSaveObject::SaveTemplates method before saving the data created by this method. Save the created data by using the IDirectXFileSaveObject::SaveData method.

If you need to save optional data, use the IDirectXFileData::AddDataObject method after using this method and before using SaveData. If the object has child objects, add them before calling SaveData.

Requirements

  Header: Declared in Dxfile.h.
  Import Library: Use D3dxof.lib.
