GetPluginFactory()

SMTG_EXPORT_SYMBOL Steinberg::IPluginFactory *PLUGIN_API GetPluginFactory

(

)

Plug-in entry point.

Any plug-in must define and export this function.
A typical implementation of GetPluginFactory looks like this

SMTG_EXPORT_SYMBOL IPluginFactory* PLUGIN_API GetPluginFactory ()
{
    if (!gPluginFactory)
    {
        static PFactoryInfo factoryInfo =
        {
            "My Company Name",
            "http://www.mywebpage.com",
            "mailto:myemail@address.com",
            PFactoryInfo::kNoFlags
        };
 
        gPluginFactory = new CPluginFactory (factoryInfo);
 
        static PClassInfo componentClass =
        {
            INLINE_UID (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000), // replace by a valid uid
            1,
            "Service",    // category
            "Name"
        };
 
        gPluginFactory->registerClass (&componentClass, MyComponentClass::newInstance);
    }
    else
        gPluginFactory->addRef ();
 
    return gPluginFactory;
}
