detect changing track in winamp

[Dido_net]

Hello everyone, I'm writing a program in C# which will get the current filename of the track and read the ID3 tags from it.
For now the ID3 reader is done, but how to get the filename of track played in winamp? And can I detect changing the tracks, like event or something?

Thanks.

Create a general plugin, in the init() install your own window proc

code:


    lpWndProcOld = GetWindowLong(plugin.hwndParent, GWL_WNDPROC);

    SetWindowLong(plugin.hwndParent,GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG)WndProc);

Then listen for WM_WA_IPC message with lParam=IPC_PLAYING_FILE:

code:


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

{

    switch (message) 

    { 

    

    case WM_WA_IPC: 



        switch( lParam )

        {

        case IPC_PLAYING_FILE:

            //new track, playback started 

            // the track filename is in wParam

            your_object->playing_file(reinterpret_cast<const char *>(wParam) );

            break;

        }



    }



#pragma warning(push)

#pragma warning(disable:4312)

    return CallWindowProc( (WNDPROC)lpWndProcOld, hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);

#pragma warning(pop)

}
