Hi all,
Just managed to get my first (propper) plugin for V-DJ going. It's a couple of small extensions to the Numark Total Control mapper:
i) Disable the pitch sliders and use one as a mic volume control instead
ii) Disable jog on a playing deck
I learnt a lot in this process - most of which you don't need to repeat if you copy the right stuff out of the source code below :-)
One thing that is a bit odd though: DLL naming is important if V-DJ is going to pick up mapping plugins. For Total Control I had to name the plugin "KC0.dll" and put it in the "My Documents/Virtual DJ/Plugins/Control Device" directory. (KC0 is the old code-name for Total Control and also the name of the .h file from the SDK).
I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 as a development environment and V-DJ V5.0 rev 6.
So here is the question:
It all works fine, except that if I use the plugin in Debug mode and run the program from the Visual Studio dubug command then all works until I quit V-DJ and then I get an exception in the V-DJ code (not my code!) just before V-DJ quits. Any ideas on this?
With V-DJ running on its own I don't get any error indications at all.
BTW the rather odd class name is in honour of my radio show over at www.purple-radio.co.uk.
Hope this is useful to some people and also any help with the odd error would be nice!

Could you give us more information about the exception: heap?
I think it's this part of the code:
It's declared as a global variable and it would be better to use a pointer and allocate the memory inside the class.
You can also use the function:
I think it's this part of the code:
char _strparam[128];
It's declared as a global variable and it would be better to use a pointer and allocate the memory inside the class.
You can also use the function:
//Plugin exit (opposite of OnLoad() )
ULONG Release()
{
// your code
delete this;
return 0;
}

Good thought, but I've just tried commenting out that global variable and function (and the one place that calls that function) and still get the same error.
I traced the flow in my class. Release() and the class destructor and these are both called and exit OK before the error - so the error is after my class has been deleted.
The message on the Debug output is "HEAP[virtualdj.exe]: HEAP: Free Heap block 21bb000 modified at 21bb074 after it was freed". Possibly Virtualdj is trying to do something with the class after it's deleted?
Actually it's worth looking at more of the debug ouput - here are the last few lines:

Unhandled exception at 0x7c901230 in virtualdj.exe: User breakpoint.
So V-DJ is obviously fairly far though it's deinitialisation before the error.

OK - one last test. This is the simplest mapper possible from the headers. It doesn't do anything except for declaring itself and overriding the one abstract function in its parent class. I still get the same error if I debug this:

I've always got this error when exiting VDJ in debug mode with any type of plugin.
