LPFNIG_TAG_SET
API Reference Guide > Core Component API Reference > Core Component Callback Functions Reference > LPFNIG_TAG_SET

This function has been deprecated and will be removed from the public API in a future release. Please use LPAFT_IG_METAD_ITEM_SET_CB instead.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code 
typedef BOOL (ACCUAPI LPFNIG_TAG_SET) (
        LPVOID lpPrivate, 
        AT_MODE nIGTag, 
        AT_MODE nDataType, 
        const LPVOID lpTagData, 
        DWORD dwSize 
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
lpPrivate LPVOID A far pointer to a private data area that can be used for anything you like.
nIGTag AT_MODE ImageGear supplies you with an IGTAG_ Tag ID constant from file Geartags.h, so that you will know which tag is currently being processed.
nDataType AT_MODE ImageGear supplies you with an IG_TAG_TYPE_ constant from file accucnst.h, specifying the data type for this tag (e.g., BYTE, LONG, FLOAT, etc.).
lpTagData const LPVOID ImageGear supplies you with a copy of the data from the tag currently being read.
dwSize DWORD ImageGear tells you the size of tag data, in bytes.

Return Value:

Returns TRUE if ImageGear should overwrite the default tag data with your data, or FALSE if ImageGear should ignore your data.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Sample:

JPEG, Filters

Example:

 
Copy Code 
BOOL ACCUAPI TagSet(
   LPVOID         lpPrivate,     /* Private data passed in        */
   AT_MODE        nIGTag,        /* Tag ID from geartags.h        */
   AT_MODE        nType,         /* Type of data in lpTag         */
   const LPVOID   lpTag,         /* Pointer to tag data           */
   DWORD          dwSize         /* Size of tag data (bytes)      */
   )
...
return TRUE; /* FALSE to terminate the operation */
}
... 
IG_load_tag_CB_register( TagSet, (LPVOID)&dwPrivateFlags );

Remarks:

This function will be called once for each tag (both volatile and non-volatile, see LPFNIG_TAG_GET) that is being parsed.

This callback function is registered by calling IG_load_tag_CB_register() function. When ImageGear is going to perform any load operation it will first check to see if you have registered any applicable callbacks. If you have registered a callback of type LPFNIG_TAG_SET, it will be called once for each tag (both volatile and non-volatile, see LPFNIG_TAG_GET) that is being parsed. ImageGear will not let you write data to any tag while loading.

If you would like to modify tag data as the image is being saved, register a callback of type LPFNIG_TAG_GET().

If you would like to add your own user-defined tags to a TIFF file, register a callback of type LPFNIG_USER_TAG_GET. Your tags will be saved with the image when it is being saved.

See also the discussion about Tag Callbacks in the section Working with ImageGear Callback Functions.

The HIGEAR for the image is not created until after all of the tags have been read in.

If you need to store any tag data, make a copy of the data, not the lpTagData pointer.
