PA_SetBlobHandleParameter

version 2003

PA_SetBlobHandleParameter (params; index; hblob)

Parameter	Type		Description
params	PA_PluginParameters		Parameters received in PluginMain
index	short		Index of the parameter in params
hblob	PA_Handle		New BLOB handle

The routine PA_SetBlobHandleParameter sets the value of the BLOB handle in the index parameter in params to hblob.

Pass a handle to the new data in hblob. This can be useful if you no longer need to use the handle as it will not be duplicated, as PA_SertBlobParameter does (which can lead to memory problems for "larger" BLOBs).

The previous BLOB in the parameter is disposed.

After the call, the handle belongs to 4D; you must never dispose of it.

See Create a new plug-in for a description of parameter accessors.

NOTE:

The first parameter starts at index 1

Set a BLOB parameter.

   PA_Handle   h;
   h = PA_NewHandle(kMY_BUFFER_SIZE);
   /* . . . fill the handle . . .*/
   PA_SetBlobHandleParameter(params, index, h);
   // Never call DisposeHandle(h) from now.
