Topic: Need help with making VDJplugins

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm working on a team making a Kinect controller for virtual DJ for my usability class. We're making it in c# but we need to talk to virtual dj to get information to populate our GUI and send commands based on gestures or other inputs. We were worried because we had no idea how to make the plugin in c#, but thankfully we can jsut make calls to the .dll file. The only problem now is none of us have extensive knowledge of c++, and have no idea how to implement the header file. Since all we wanna use the plugin for is an IO for virtual dj and our program, it should be easy, since it seems the command for requests and command in vdjscript are implemented in the derived class; However, we don't even know to just get the basic plugin functionality implemented. Can anybody help me figure this out or provide a bit of sample code so I could try to figure it out?

Either learn COM interop or C++ basically!

I can sort a basic sample when I get home in C++ if it helps.

Well we have some people on the team who have taken courses in it, myself included, but we're still having issues with making the plugin. We made an attempt at it but we weren't quite able to get it working, so we just need help with the basics of getting it down.

That would definitely help, we honestly just need to figure out a basic compilable code just to make vdjscript calls, we won't be adding anything else until maybe later in the project.

We're you ever able to find a sample for a basic plugin?

Is this enough to get going with our project?
