Event on track change?

[Newbob]

Hi,

as for now I'm having a endless-loop inside a thread I create when my PlugIn has been loaded and check every 250ms (due to cpu usage) if the track has changed somehow to then start the event. I wonder if there's a better approach (one without that 250ms delay) to do something on track change. If so, please tell me.

Thanks

use the callback messages which are sent on status change instead. for example

code:
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

{	

			if((lParam == IPC_CB_MISC && wParam == IPC_CB_MISC_STATUS))

			{

				int status = SendMessage(plugin.hwndParent, WM_WA_IPC, 0, IPC_ISPLAYING);

				switch(status)

				{

					case 0:

						//not playing

					break;

					case 1:

						//playing

					break;

					case 3:

						//paused

					break;

				}

			}

	int ret = CallWindowProc(lpWndProcOld, hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);

	return ret;

}

the playing one will be sent whenever you hit play/next track etc...

IPC_PLAYING_FILE(W) is much better as that doesn't have the ambiguity which IPC_CB_MISC causes in such situations.
