IWICBitmapCodecInfo::GetMimeTypes method (wincodec.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Retrieves a comma delimited sequence of mime types associated with the codec.

Syntax

HRESULT GetMimeTypes(
  [in]  UINT  cchMimeTypes,
  [out] WCHAR *wzMimeTypes,
  [out] UINT  *pcchActual
);

Parameters

[in] cchMimeTypes

Type: UINT

The size of the mime types buffer. Use 0 on first call to determine needed buffer size.

[out] wzMimeTypes

Type: WCHAR*

Receives the mime types associated with the codec. Use NULL on first call to determine needed buffer size.

[out] pcchActual

Type: UINT*

The actual buffer size needed to retrieve all mime types associated with the codec.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The usage pattern for this method is a two call process. The first call retrieves the buffer size needed to retrieve the full color management version number by calling it with cchMimeTypes set to 0 and wzMimeTypes set to NULL. This call sets pcchActual to the buffer size needed. Once the needed buffer size is determined, a second GetMimeTypes call with cchMimeTypes set to the buffer size and wzMimeTypes set to a buffer of the appropriate size will retrieve the pixel formats.
