Addon resource

Synopsis:

#include <aoi.h>

typedef struct
{
    const char *name;
    const char *description;
    void *value;
    const void *info;
    int32_t type;
} AOResource_t;

Description:

This structure defines an addon resource. It contains the following members:
char *name
The name of the resource.
char *description
A short description of the resource.
void * parent
The parent control for the resource.
void *value
A pointer to the value of the resource.
void *info
A pointer to typing information, such as a range, list of items, etc.
int32_t type
The resource type flag, which is one of:
  • AOR_TYPE_LONG — a long integer; value points to an int32_t, and info points to an array of three int32_t numbers containing minimum, maximum, and increment values.
  • AOR_TYPE_LONGLONG — a long long integer; value points to an int64_t, and info points to an array of three int64_t numbers containing minimum, maximum, and increment values.
  • AOR_TYPE_FLOAT — a float; value points to a float, and info points to an array of three float numbers containing minimum, maximum, and increment values.
  • AOR_TYPE_STRING — a string; value points to an allocated string buffer, and info points to an int32_t that contains the maximum length of the string.
  • AOR_TYPE_RADIO — an enumerated value between 0 and N; value points to an int32_t within this range, and info points to a structure containing an int32_t that stores N, followed by N number of char* pointers that store human-readable descriptions of these values (e.g., for radio button labels in a UI).
  • AOR_TYPE_TOGGLE — a boolean; value points to an int32_t with a boolean value, and there is no info pointer requirement.
  • AOR_TYPE_POINTER — a pointer; value is the actual pointer.
You can OR the type member with one or more of the following permission values:
  • AOR_TYPE_READABLE — readable using resource functions
  • AOR_TYPE_WRITABLE — writable using resource functions
  • AOR_TYPE_ENABLED — enabled
  • AOR_TYPE_VISIBLE — visible
These permission values could be used when automatically generating a GUI for a DLL's resources.
