HasAttachedImages

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The HasAttachedImages attribute is a file-level attribute specifying whether the file is an MP3 file with attached APIC ID3 frames.

Global Constant

g_wszWMHasAttachedImages

Data Type

WMT_TYPE_BOOL

Remarks

This is a coded attribute.

This attribute cannot be duplicated at the file level. If this attribute is used for an individual stream, it will be treated as custom metadata and will not convey its normal meaning to the objects of the Windows Media Format SDK.

HasAttachedImages was designed to inform an application that images were present so that they could be retrieved using the IWMImageInfo interface. Now that images are supported using the WM/Picture attribute, HasAttachedImages is no longer needed.

To determine whether a file contains images, call IWMHeaderInfo3::GetAttributeIndices specifying the WM/Picture attribute.
