called
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
#include <mpapi.h>
MP_STATUS MP_RegisterForObjectPropertyChanges(MP_OBJECT_PROPERTY_FN
pClientFn, MP_OBJECT_TYPE objectType, void *pCallerData, MP_OID plugi‐
nOid);
PARAMETERS
pClientFn A pointer to an object ID that has type MP_OBJECT_PROP‐
ERTY_FN function defined by the client. With a suc‐
cessful return, this function is called to inform the
client of objects that have had one or more properties
changed.
objectType The type of object the client wishes to register for
property change callbacks.
pCallerData A pointer that is passed to the callback routine with
each event. This might be used by the caller to corre‐
late the event to the source of the registration.
pluginOid If this is a valid plugin object ID, then registration
is limited to that plugin. If this is zero, then the
registration is for all plugins.
DESCRIPTION
The MP_RegisterForObjectPropertyChanges() function registers a client
function to be called whenever the property of an object changes.
The function specified by pClientFn is called whenever the property of
an object changes. For the purposes of this function, a prop‐
erty is defined to be a field in an object's property structure and the
object's status. Therefore, the client function is not called if a
statistic of the associated object changes. But, it is called when the
status changes (e.g., from working to failed) or when a name or other
field in a property structure changes.
It is not an error to re-register a client function. However, a client
function has only one registration. The first call to deregis‐
ter a client function will deregister it no matter how many calls to
register the function have been made.
If multiple properties of an object change simultaneously, a client
function can be called only once to be notified that all the changes
have occurred.
RETURN VALUES
MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE
The pluginOid or objectType does not specify any valid object type.
This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is
passed to the API.
MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND
The pluginOid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid.
MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
The pCallerData is null or if the pluginOid has a type subfield
other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_PLUGIN, or when objectType is invalid.
MP_STATUS_SUCCESS
The operation is successful.
MP_STATUS_FN_REPLACED
An existing client function is replaced with the one specified in
pClientFn.
