IDirectMusicStyle

The IDirectMusicStyle interface provides access to a style object. The style object provides the performance with the information that it needs to play musical patterns. For an overview, see Using Styles.

Since styles usually include bands and motifs, the IDirectMusicStyle interface provides methods for accessing these objects.

The DirectMusicStyle object also supports the IDirectMusicObject and IPersistStream interfaces for loading its data.

The methods of the IDirectMusicStyle interface can be organized in the following groups:

Enumeration EnumBand
  EnumChordMap
EnumMotif
Information GetBand
  GetChordMap
GetDefaultBand
GetDefaultChordMap
GetEmbellishmentLength
GetMotif
GetTempo
GetTimeSignature

All COM interfaces inherit the IUnknown interface methods. This interface supports the following three methods:

IUnknown AddRef
  QueryInterface
Release
