Getting MIME Types16

Your graphics import component can support MIME types that correspond to graphics formats it supports. To make a list of these MIME types available to applications or other software, it must implement the GraphicsImportGetMIMETypeList function described in this section.

GraphicsImportGetMIMETypeList

Returns a list of MIME types supported by the graphics import component.



 
pascal ComponentResult GraphicsImportGetMIMETypeList (

                     GraphicsImportComponent ci,

                     QTAtomContainerPtr*);

ci: Specifies an instance of a graphics importer component.
QTAtomContainerPtr: A pointer to a MIME type list, a QT atom container that contains a list of MIME types supported by the graphics import component. The MIME type list structure is described in "MIME Type List" [link] .
