Detailed Description

Manages a list of plugin types.

This can be easily edited, saved and loaded, and used to create instances of the plugin types in it.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KnownPluginList()

KnownPluginList::KnownPluginList ( )

Creates an empty list.

◆ ~KnownPluginList()

KnownPluginList::~KnownPluginList ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addChangeListener()

void ChangeBroadcaster::addChangeListener ( ChangeListener * listener )

inherited

Registers a listener to receive change callbacks from this broadcaster.

Trying to add a listener that's already on the list will have no effect.

◆ addToBlacklist()

void KnownPluginList::addToBlacklist ( const String & pluginID )

Adds a plugin ID to the black-list.

◆ addToMenu()

void KnownPluginList::addToMenu	(	PopupMenu &	menu,
		SortMethod	sortMethod,
		const String &	currentlyTickedPluginID = `String()`
	)		const

Adds all the plugin types to a popup menu so that the user can select one.

Depending on the sort method, it may add sub-menus for categories, manufacturers, etc.

Use getIndexChosenByMenu() to find out the type that was chosen.

◆ addType()

bool KnownPluginList::addType ( const PluginDescription & type )

Adds a type manually from its description.

◆ begin()

PluginDescription** KnownPluginList::begin ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Type iteration.

◆ clear()

void KnownPluginList::clear ( )

Clears the list.

◆ clearBlacklistedFiles()

void KnownPluginList::clearBlacklistedFiles ( )

Clears all the blacklisted files.

◆ createTree()

PluginTree* KnownPluginList::createTree ( const SortMethod sortMethod ) const

Creates a PluginTree object containing all the known plugins.

◆ createXml()

XmlElement* KnownPluginList::createXml ( ) const

Creates some XML that can be used to store the state of this list.

◆ dispatchPendingMessages()

void ChangeBroadcaster::dispatchPendingMessages ( )

inherited

If a change message has been sent but not yet dispatched, this will call sendSynchronousChangeMessage() to make the callback immediately.

For thread-safety reasons, you must only call this method on the main message thread.

◆ end()

PluginDescription** KnownPluginList::end ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Type iteration.

◆ getBlacklistedFiles()

const StringArray& KnownPluginList::getBlacklistedFiles ( ) const

Returns the list of blacklisted files.

◆ getIndexChosenByMenu()

int KnownPluginList::getIndexChosenByMenu ( int menuResultCode ) const

Converts a menu item index that has been chosen into its index in this list.

Returns -1 if it's not an ID that was used.

See also: addToMenu

◆ getNumTypes()

int KnownPluginList::getNumTypes ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the number of types currently in the list.

See also: getType

◆ getType()

PluginDescription* KnownPluginList::getType ( int index ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns one of the types.

See also: getNumTypes

◆ getTypeForFile()

PluginDescription* KnownPluginList::getTypeForFile ( const String & fileOrIdentifier ) const

Looks for a type in the list which comes from this file.

◆ getTypeForIdentifierString()

PluginDescription* KnownPluginList::getTypeForIdentifierString ( const String & identifierString ) const

Looks for a type in the list which matches a plugin type ID.

The identifierString parameter must have been created by PluginDescription::createIdentifierString().

◆ isListingUpToDate()

bool KnownPluginList::isListingUpToDate	(	const String &	possiblePluginFileOrIdentifier,
		AudioPluginFormat &	formatToUse
	)		const

Returns true if the specified file is already known about and if it hasn't been modified since our entry was created.

◆ recreateFromXml()

void KnownPluginList::recreateFromXml ( const XmlElement & xml )

Recreates the state of this list from its stored XML format.

◆ removeAllChangeListeners()

void ChangeBroadcaster::removeAllChangeListeners ( )

inherited

Removes all listeners from the list.

◆ removeChangeListener()

void ChangeBroadcaster::removeChangeListener ( ChangeListener * listener )

inherited

Unregisters a listener from the list.

If the listener isn't on the list, this won't have any effect.

◆ removeFromBlacklist()

void KnownPluginList::removeFromBlacklist ( const String & pluginID )

Removes a plugin ID from the black-list.

◆ removeType()

void KnownPluginList::removeType ( int index )

Removes a type.

◆ scanAndAddDragAndDroppedFiles()

void KnownPluginList::scanAndAddDragAndDroppedFiles	(	AudioPluginFormatManager &	formatManager,
		const StringArray &	filenames,
		OwnedArray< PluginDescription > &	typesFound
	)

Scans and adds a bunch of files that might have been dragged-and-dropped.

If any types are found in the files, their descriptions are returned in the array.

◆ scanAndAddFile()

bool KnownPluginList::scanAndAddFile	(	const String &	possiblePluginFileOrIdentifier,
		bool	dontRescanIfAlreadyInList,
		OwnedArray< PluginDescription > &	typesFound,
		AudioPluginFormat &	formatToUse
	)

Looks for all types that can be loaded from a given file, and adds them to the list.

If dontRescanIfAlreadyInList is true, then the file will only be loaded and re-tested if it's not already in the list, or if the file's modification time has changed since the list was created. If dontRescanIfAlreadyInList is false, the file will always be reloaded and tested.

Returns true if any new types were added, and all the types found in this file (even if it was already known and hasn't been re-scanned) get returned in the array.

◆ scanFinished()

void KnownPluginList::scanFinished ( )

Tells a custom scanner that a scan has finished, and it can release any resources.

◆ sendChangeMessage()

void ChangeBroadcaster::sendChangeMessage ( )

inherited

Causes an asynchronous change message to be sent to all the registered listeners.

The message will be delivered asynchronously by the main message thread, so this method will return immediately. To call the listeners synchronously use sendSynchronousChangeMessage().

Referenced by SelectedItemSet< SelectableItemType >::changed().

◆ sendSynchronousChangeMessage()

void ChangeBroadcaster::sendSynchronousChangeMessage ( )

inherited

Sends a synchronous change message to all the registered listeners.

This will immediately call all the listeners that are registered. For thread-safety reasons, you must only call this method on the main message thread.

See also: dispatchPendingMessages

Referenced by SelectedItemSet< SelectableItemType >::changed().

◆ setCustomScanner()

void KnownPluginList::setCustomScanner ( CustomScanner * )

Supplies a custom scanner to be used in future scans.

The KnownPluginList will take ownership of the object passed in.

◆ sort()

void KnownPluginList::sort	(	SortMethod	method,
		bool	forwards
	)

Sorts the list.
