In your sdk path... look the wa_ipc.h file, open it, and seek for IPC_GET_EXTENDED_FILE_INFO or IPC_GET_BASIC_FILE_INFO and see it does for you

or just IPC_GETOUTPUTTIME (wparam = 0 gives the current playback position and wparam = 1 gives the track length) which is much easier to use

How can i get a notification Whenever a event occur in winamp.
This may be a typical thing, but i need this.

Well... search on the forum about subclassing the winamp parent and read about IPC_CB_MISC and IPC_CB_MISC_STATUS
