SDK VirtualDJ v5.x
You need 2 or 3 files:
* VdjPlugin.h with all the basic functions to "talk" with Virtual DJ (it's what we call the SDK)
* Maybe one more .h to add new and specialized functions to the SDK (audio, video, controller,...) [this .h depends of VdjPlugin.h]
* .cpp your plugin using functions of the .h and actions of Virtual DJ
With these 2 or 3 files, you just need to use the action of the .h
SendCommand(What,Deck); to send a real-time string command What (actions=keyboard shortcuts) to VDJ on the deck Deck
You need also to understand the keyboard shortcuts as in the plugins it's the same thing
And to send command, the functions <b>wsprint</b>() [or <b>sprintf</b>() from the external library stdio.h (use #include) ]
Simple example: First plugin to do at the beginning: one slider to move the main crossfader on the skin. It's easy but it enables you to be sure of what you believe to understand
If you succeed try other action and buttons
Then, you can add the function in the .h :
GetInfo(What, &In); to make queries What (from parameters list) from VDJ
[see forum or GetInfo.dll to have the list]

If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, i advise you Dev-C++, it's a free c++ compilator and you can
DOWNLOAD HERE
If you want to use Visual C++ 2005 Express, follow these: instructions

When you use Dev-c++, you must first create a new project, choose a name for the project and also choose DLL, or else it won't compile as a .exe which won't work with VDJ.
First correct the file vdjdsp2.h to avoid the problem with enum:
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/40237/Plugins/To_write_plugin_with_Dev-C____.html?page=1
Then you must write your plugin and finally compile it by clicking on the logo that has four squares in different colors.
Hopefully if you don't have any errors while compiling, you will have a new plugin to use with VirtualDJ

Don't spose we could have a step by step guide to plugin creation. I have access to Visual Studio 2003, but aside from loading the .CPP a .H files I'm completly confuesd. I just want to modify the DAC2 default mapper file then create a .DLL file that suits virtual DJ?
I'm not fluent in C++, but do pick this kind of programming up easly if pointed in the right direction.

I had a look at that, but does it build mappers for controllers though? Think I really need a VS Tutorial!

Hi All
In order to use the wizard in VS2005, all you need to do is the following:
1) Install wizard (VdjDspWizard.exe) as per normal.
2) Copy the "vdjdspwizard" directory under ".\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\VCWizards" to your VS2005 installation directory, which by default is ".\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards".
3) Copy the "VirtualDJ" directory under ".\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\VCProjects" to your VS2005 installation directory, which by default is ".Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjects".
4) Edit the "vdjdspwizard.vsz" file located in ".\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjects\VirtualDJ" and replace this line
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.7.1
with this line
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.8.0
5) Should work (holding thumbs), because mine did!

This is a full wizard? I installed that wizard, it asked me one window, IE don't process audio, do process audio, what type of interface, then that was that, right into the virtual studio manual window. Even though i clicked NO AUDIO, and NO INTERFACE, it still gave me buttons, and started dumping debugs in the EFFECTS folder!?
Where do you start the wizard from??

With the VdjDspWizard.exe, the DEBUG mode automatically sends the files in the virtualdj folder. It's better to debug his plugin ;-)
(if you enable the debug mode F5,it will launch VirtualDJ in addition)
If you change to RELEASE mode (final compilation), the output folder is created locally and not in VirtualDJ folders.

Ok so how do you right the plugin in the dev-c=++ also can you edit plugins that already been made on that dev program?

You will need some C++ skills to start with, and you can only modify existing plugins if the authors will provide you with their source code.

What programming experience do you have?
You'll probably also be wanting a registered copy of Virtual DJ so you can get access to the existing plugins, source code, assistance and so forth.
