 PresetFile (IBStream *stream)
 Constructor of Preset file based on a stream.
 
virtual ~PresetFile ()
 
IBStreamgetStream () const
 Returns the associated stream.
 
const FUIDgetClassID () const
 Returns the associated classID (component ID: Processor part (not the controller!)).
 
void setClassID (const FUID &uid)
 Sets the associated classID (component ID: Processor part (not the controller!)).
 
const EntrygetEntry (ChunkType which) const
 Returns an entry for a given chunk type.
 
const EntrygetLastEntry () const
 Returns the last available entry.
 
int32 getEntryCount () const
 Returns the number of total entries in the current stream.
 
const Entryat (int32 index) const
 Returns the entry at a given position.
 
bool contains (ChunkType which) const
 Checks if a given chunk type exist in the stream.
 
bool readChunkList ()
 Reads and build the chunk list (including the header chunk).
 
bool writeHeader ()
 Writes into the stream the main header.
 
bool writeChunkList ()
