Standard Track Parameters
This section describes the standard track parameters that can be set and retrieved by using the following methods.
- IDirectMusicPerformance8::GetParam
- IDirectMusicPerformance8::GetParamEx
- IDirectMusicPerformance8::SetParam
- IDirectMusicSegment8::GetParam
- IDirectMusicSegment8::SetParam
- IDirectMusicTrack8::GetParam
- IDirectMusicTrack8::GetParamEx
- IDirectMusicTrack8::SetParam
- IDirectMusicTrack8::SetParamEx
Parameter types are listed in this section under their GUIDs, as specified in the rGuidType parameter of the method call.
The following information is given for each parameter type:
| Element | Description |
| Track type | Tracks to which the parameters apply. See Standard Track Types. Although parameters are always associated with particular tracks, applications usually call the method on the segment or the performance and let DirectMusic find the appropriate track. See Identifying the Track. |
| Data type | Type of data pointed to by the pParam parameter of the method call by which the parameter is set or retrieved. |
| mtTime | Significance, if any, of the mtTime parameter of the method call by which the parameter is set or retrieved. |
The standard parameter types are listed in the following table.
