| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hIGear | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle to the image. |
| lpBlockName | const LPART_BLOCK_NAME | A far pointer to an 8 byte array of memory into which you set the type of block to create. The block type will be either an ART-defined constant beginning with ART_BLOCK_ or a user defined block. See ARTAPI.H for the full list of ART-defined constants. |
| lpBlockData | const LPVOID | A far pointer of type VOID which points to the block data. |
| dwBlockSize | DWORD | The size of lpBlockData, in bytes. |
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during the function call.

If a block of type lpBlockName exists, it is replaced by the new one. The block data pointed to by lpBlockData is copied into the new named block.
Unlike mark named blocks, which are associated with an individual mark, global named blocks are not associated with any mark - they act as default settings for the next created mark. When a new mark is created, some of its named blocks are created from the global named blocks.
An error is set if any of the following conditions are met:
