Component Flags for Derived Media Handlers

The Component Manager allows you to specify information about your component's capabilities in the componentFlags field of the component description record. You must set this component flag to 1 in the component description that is associated with your derived media handler:

mediaHandlerFlagBaseClient
Indicates that your component is derived from another component. Setting this flag to 1 tells the Component Manager that your component is a client of the base media handler.
