## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

SMTG_EXPORT_SYMBOL Steinberg::IPluginFactory* 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;
}
