Title: [Request] Additional events for the event interface
Post by: poiru on December 03, 2011, 03:45:38 am

I think the following events (for FireMJEvent) would be nice:
- MCC: UPDATE_FLAG_FILE_PROPERTIES (sent when track metadata is changed)
- MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYBACK_OPTIONS_CHANGED (sent when shuffle/repeat is changed)

Another alternative would be to subclass the "MainUIWnd" window procedure in order to receive the notification messages, but that could potentially lead to unwanted trouble. Is there a recommended method?

In cases where the provided notifications don't give you the notifications you need, you can register any window to receive all MCC notifications by using:
pMJ->RegisterWindowWithRouter(HWND hwndRegister, BOOL bRegisteredState)

After this, you'll get WM_MC_COMMAND messages to that window.

Two things to remember:
1) Make sure hwndRegister is a window created and running on the main user interface thread
2) Remember to unregister before your window is destroyed

Fantastic, somehow managed to miss the RegisterWindowWithRouter function. Thanks!
