Detailed Description

Class for a metatool key assignment.

Before using an object, the mode (=Finale tool) must be set with SetMode.

Metatool are saved to the keystroke location. Example: a metatool record for the 'A' key are stored at position 65 (ASCII for 'A'), so GetItemNo would return 65.

Tuplets are only supported if PDK_FRAMEWORK_ENTRIES is defined to the compiler.

Reimplemented from __FCNoInciOther.

__FCBaseData * FCMetatoolAssignment::CreateLinkedObject ( )

Creates and loads an object that is connected to the metatool keystroke.

The caller is reponsible for deleting the created object from the heap.

Please note that the returned object is different depending on the object type.

Reimplemented from __FCNoInciOther.

virtual const PDKFRAMEWORK_CLASSID FCMetatoolAssignment::GetClassID ( )
