TagsEditor.WAV_BextChunkBinaryFieldSet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Writes a binary field of the WAV Bext chunk. Current contents can be retrieved through the TagsEditor.WAV_BextChunkTextFieldGet method.

The modification only happens in memory and not directly into the original sound file: in order to store modifications inside the file you need to call the TagsEditor.WAV_SaveChanges method.

 

For further details about methods related to tags editing refer to the TagsEditorMan class.

For details about the editing of tags see the How to edit tag info in sound files tutorial.

Below you can find a couple of samples that demonstrate how to retrieve a picture and store it inside a memory buffer in Visual Basic.NET and Visual C#:

 

Visual Basic.NET

 

Private Sub buttonGetPicture_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles buttonGetPicture.Click

{

' get the size of the picture in bytes

Dim nSizeInBytes As Int32

m_audioSoundEditorApi.TagsEditor.FLAC_PictureFrameSizeGet (0, nSizeInBytes)

if nSizeInBytes = 0 then Exit Sub

 

' allocate the receiving buffer

Dim byteBuffer As Byte() = Nothing

byteBuffer = New Byte(nSizeInBytes)

 

' read picture data

m_audioSoundEditorApi.TagsEditor.FLAC_PictureFrameMemoryFileGet (0, byteBuffer, nSizeInBytes)

 

...

use the buffer

...

}

 

 

Visual C#

 

private void buttonGetPicture_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

// get the size of the picture in bytes

Int32 nSizeInBytes = 0;

m_audioSoundEditorApi.TagsEditor.FLAC_PictureFrameSizeGet (0, ref nSizeInBytes);

if (nSizeInBytes == 0)

   return;

 

// allocate the receiving buffer

byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[nSizeInBytes];

 

// read picture data

m_audioSoundEditorApi.TagsEditor.FLAC_PictureFrameMemoryFileGet (0, byteBuffer, nSizeInBytes);

 

...

use the buffer

...

}
