Topic: The TVdjQueryResult structure seems to be deprecated in VDJ8

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello,

I'm trying to query the artist and title of the current song playing. I've successfully got a plugin working, but the functions to retreive the info do not work.

The examples I've seen use a TVdjQueryResult structure, but this seems to be deprecated. I've tried this, but it does not seem to work:

char author[256];
char title[256];
char qRes[256];
HRESULT hr = GetStringInfo ("get loaded_song 'author'", &qRes[0], sizeof (qRes));
if (hr == S_OK) {
MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8, 0, qRes, strlen(qRes) + 1, artist, sizeof (artist));
}
hr = GetStringInfo ("get loaded_song 'title'", &qRes[0], sizeof (qRes));
if (hr == S_OK) {
MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8, 0, qRes, strlen(qRes) + 1, title, sizeof (title));
}

Apparently I'm not doing it right. How should it be done?

Thanks,
Peter

Never mind. GetStringInfo is working just fine. The problem was MultiByteToWideChar. I don't need to use that at all. The text returned by GetStringInfo is already UTF-8 which is what I need for my application. All is good!
