Text registers & plugins

(this the the second time I have written this as this message board doesn't remeber what you typed if you forget to put your password in!)

Hi Ron,

Just wondering if you are planning to ad text register support to the send message plugin? It would be nice to get the song/album name from winamp, and also get the say plugn to say the result!

If this is somewhere near the bottom of the list of things to do, after my finals in a few weeks, I plan on downloading the M$ speach sapi and figuring out my own speech plugin. This may take a while though as I havn't done any c for a very long time.

Cheers,

Mike.

It actually should already support that if you download 3.0.23 pre!

Thanks for replying, Which one should support it? I mean the save result in a register bit of the send message plugin. Did I miss something, I'll download it again kust encase.

Cheers,

Mike

Oh i see, i misread it the first time. That could be a problem because window messages return a number not a string. And changing the plugin to read the lparam (the pointer to the string) of WM_GETTEXT would make it a non-generic plugin. You can download the source and make the changes yourself, this should be a piece of cake :wink:

Also look at the"DVDspy" by Mike, the source can be found on the developers page. Maybe you can adapt that to Winamp...

It is possible to access and modify the Girder Text and number registers from a plugin.

Indeed, the link is fixed.
