Basic Plugin using SDK v8 (with default Interface)



Here is an example to start developping a plugin "MyPlugin8". We use the class "CMyPlugin8" to define our object but you can use what you want. The file "Main.cpp" is the caller of your object "CMyPlugin8" and is the entry point to communicate with VirtualDJ.
We also use the VDJINTERFACE_DEFAULT in this example to easy draw sliders/buttons/... in the plugin.

For this example, you need to include the following file from the SDK v8 in your project: vdjPlugin8.h (basic common base-class for all plugins)
You can use other compiler but please find one example of Visual C++ project for this project on a PC. It will generate a .dll file
For the case of this example, please copy all the files in the same folder.

MyPlugin8.h:
#ifndef MYPLUGIN8_H
#define MYPLUGIN8_H

// we include stdio.h only to use the sprintf() function
// we define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS for the warnings of the sprintf() function
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include <stdio.h>

#include "vdjPlugin8.h"
