well, one question:
is it possible to retrieve configuration-data from other (core-) plugins to use it in yours ? currently i'm interested in the default playlist font/color and i don't know, hot to get them ..

i tried something like that to get some "config_vars" (whatever they are

)

CODE

int count = service_enum_get_count_t( config_var );
config_var **p = new config_var*[count];
for (int a = 0; a < count; a++)
{
p[a] = service_enum_create_t( config_var, a );
_RPT1( 0, "%s\r\n", p[a]->get_name() );
}

but apparently the ones i need are not among them ..

thanks in advance for any info about this ;D

Yes, though you can only use configuration data that is made publicly available by other components.

The playlist color and font settings are local to each of the current user interfaces and cannot be accessed from outside. There is no default playlist color and font in the core.

A more standard way to enumerate all config_var instances would be like this:

CODE

service_enum_t<config_var> e;
config_var * ptr;
for (ptr = e.first(); ptr; ptr = e.next() {
console::info(ptr->get_name());
ptr->service_release();
}

If you need to keep the config_var pointers for later use, you can store the pointer using the service_ptr_list_t<config_var> or service_ptr_list_autodel_t<config_var> template class instead of calling the service_release method immediately.
