Descriptor Registry Suite

Detailed Description

Used to pass descriptors between plug-ins or save parameters between invocations.

Descriptors must be created through the Action Descriptor Suite.

Accessing the Suite

The Descriptor Registry suite is referred to as: 

  #define kPSDescriptorRegistrySuite    "61e608b0-40fd-11d1-8da3-00c04fd5f7ee"
with the version constant: 
  #define   kPSDescriptorRegistrySuiteVersion   1
The suite is acquired as follows: 
  PSDescriptorRegistryProcs *sPSDescriptorRegistry;
  error = sSPBasic->AcquireSuite(kPSDescriptorRegistrySuite,
                                 kPSDescriptorRegistrySuiteVersion, 
                                 &sPSDescriptorRegistry);
  if (error) goto . . . //handle error
Or, alternatively, use the global variable sPSRegistry, by including the header file sampleCode\common\includes\PIUSuites.h.

For PICA errors, see SPErrorCodes.h.
