General Plugin using MFC ??!!

[snakebyte]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to write the the general plugin dll using MFC ?. I downloaded the gen pluging SDK it is not at all documented . So i don't know that specifications (structures etc)that should be present in my mfc dll for winamp to communicate with it.
Can u give me any refrences or sample code where mfc classes are invoked from a simple C dll.


Thanks in advance

Sure can :) Just take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/winampwnd.asp which not only shows how to create an MFC based general plugin, but also how to create a window which is skinable and docking and resizes like winamp does. Don't forget to vote on the code!

Just remember this detail:

If you're using MFC, find the part where he explains

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

// Please see MFC Technical Notes 33 and 58 for additional
// details.

Contains empty gen purpose C plugin source, empty C++ general purpose plugin for win32 API source and an empty C++ gen purpose plugin for MFC source.
