Well the title more or less says it all im wondering if there is any way to write a gui component/plugin in .net for foobar2000? i have more or less no knowledge in c or c++.
what im after is making a GUI for foobar2000 in wpf as wpf makes it so easy to create cool and good looking gui...... |

I managed to compile fb2k's SDK in C++/CLI once. And AFAIR the resulting component did execute some managed code but there was something wrong on the app's quit - it always crashed. So you can try to investigate it further. But I'm not sure it'll be a good decision.

It could be technically possible, but it would require a fair bit of C++ and CLR competence from you to wrap things enough to be usable. There might be some additional niggles for UI components in particular, as they're instantiated rather early.
foo_title has a shallow managed wrapper for parts of the API, which has worked in the past, but I'm unsure whether it's still feasible. I've never managed to implement it properly. -------------------- Zao shang yong zao nong zao rang zao ren zao.
