Question on coding WACs

[Russ]

Right, I've decided to have a play around with building some Winamp3 components, and I've got a bit stuck - this is about my first time coding C++, I've come from doing C on UNIX, and (*shudder*) VB.

OK, I've got the thing to compile and load (a struggle in itself ), and I've got integer options showing up in the prefs screen (i.e. _int something("Something", 1); ) , but I'm rather stuck on how to get boolean or string values to work there.

Secondly, can I get Winamp to call me back when the song changes, or do I have to poll it on a timer? (I haven't looked very hard with this)
