How To Control MJ from external app?
« on: November 07, 2002, 11:00:37 am »

Can someone help me with controling MJ from a normal exe file. I need to be able to read the song title, duration and other info if possible.
Is there any way how to do it (send message commands and so)?

Lets say in Delphi,VB, or at least C?

Could you mail me some examples? :)

Thanx you all,

You can't normally but there's nothing stopping you from creating a plugin that receives requests from an external program and returning the info you want.

I had the same problem in that in mIRC I wanted to tell people what I was listening to so in AV I created global hotkeys that copied what was playing to the clipboard.

I presume you have VB as you mentioned it in your original message so look at the BusyBox sample in the SDK download:

That will tell you everything you need to know.
