   LPAT_MODE lpFormatList,
   UINT nFListSize
);

Sample:

See GUI component source code.

Example:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrCount;    // Count of errs on stack upon ret from func
UINT nCount;            // Count of supported formats
LPAT_MODE lpFormatList; // list of formats
// Get list filters that support detect and saving:
// Get total count
nErrCount = IG_fltr_formatlist_get(IG_FLTR_DETECTSUPPORT|IG_FLTR_PAGEINSERTSUPPORT, NULL,
    0, &nCount );
if( nErrCount==0 ) 
{
    // Allocate memory
    lpFormatList = (LPAT_MODE)malloc( nCount*sizeof(AT_MODE) );
    if( lpFormatList!=NULL )
    {
        // Get supported formats
        IG_fltr_formatlist_get(IG_FLTR_DETECTSUPPORT|IG_FLTR_PAGEINSERTSUPPORT,
            lpFormatList, nCount, NULL );
        // Sort formats in alphabetic order */
        IG_fltr_formatlist_sort( lpFormatList, nCount );

        // ...

        // Delete memory
        free( lpFormatList );
    }
}

Remarks:

You can use this function to sort the list of formats obtained from IG_fltr_formatlist_get. Short file format names used for sorting correspond to short names returned by IG_fltr_info_get function.
