Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (Visual Basic)

DirectXFileData

Applications use the methods of the DirectXFileData class to build or to access the immediate hierarchy of the data object. Template restrictions determine the hierarchy. Data types allowed by the template are called optional members. The optional members are not required, but an object might miss important information without them. These optional members are saved as children of the data object. The children can be another data object, a reference to an earlier data object, or a binary object.

The methods of the DirectXFileData class can be organized into the following groups.

Add Data AddBinaryObject
  AddDataObject
  AddDataReference
Information GetDataSize
  GetType
Retrieve Data GetData
  GetDataFromOffset
  GetNextObject

This class inherits additional functionality from the DirectXFileObject class.

The globally unique identifier (GUID) for the DirectXFileData class is IID_IDirectXFileData.
