VirtualDJ - Integrating Specific Plugin GUI into Skin's PluginZone

PRO InfinityMember since 2021

Hi,

I am in the midst of customizing a skin for Virtual DJ and have come across a particular challenge where I need some dvice. My objective is to dock a specific plugin, "kHs 3-Band EQ," into the pluginzone of my skin. The intent is for this plugin to automatically dock in the designated pluginzone whenever it is opened.

Currently, my setup involves a

<pluginzone>

within a

<split>

element named "effects." However, when I open the GUI of the 'kHs 3-Band EQ' effect using the

effect_gui_show

command, it opens as a separate window, rather than docking within the browser panel as intended.

Here is a brief excerpt of my current skin XML setup for your reference:

<split name="effects" type="horizontal" ...>
    ...
	<pluginzone class="browsercolors" resizeX="yes" resizeY="yes" attachX="both">
		<size width="[WIDTH]" height="[HEIGHT]"></size>
		<pos x="0" y="0"></pos>
	</pluginzone>
    ...
</split>

I am looking for guidance on how to ensure that the 'kHs 3-Band EQ' plugin GUI docks specifically within this pluginzone. Is there a way to specify through the skin XML which plugin should be docked, or is there another approach I should consider for this customization?

Any tips, insights, or suggestions from experienced skin developers or knowledgeable users would be immensely helpful.
