The only way I have seen it solved is in .NET by using a COM object and registering that COM object of your out of process app in MM itself.

See this thread:[url]http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14004&p=69933&hilit=com+events#p69933[/url]

You can download and look at the MonkeyToys source code for a working example....

    public partial class frmMain : Window
    {
        public SongsDB.SDBApplication mmapp;

        public frmMain()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            mmapp = new SongsDB.SDBApplication();
            mmapp.ShutdownAfterDisconnect = false;

            mmapp.OnChangedSelection += new SongsDB.ISDBApplicationEvents_OnChangedSelectionEventHandler(mmapp_OnChangedSelection);
            mmapp.OnPlay += new SongsDB.ISDBApplicationEvents_OnPlayEventHandler(mmapp_OnPlay);
        }

        void mmapp_OnPlay()
        {
                // do something
        }

        void mmapp_OnChangedSelection()
        {
                // do something
        }

Hello all,

surfed this forum, but only found non-working examples (a lot) or confusing ones, which I cannot use to put my thing to work. I want to write a C# application and catch the events in media monkey, for example by code like this:

[code] public partial class frmMain : Window
{
public SongsDB.SDBApplication mmapp;

public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();

mmapp = new SongsDB.SDBApplication();
mmapp.ShutdownAfterDisconnect = false;

mmapp.OnChangedSelection += new SongsDB.ISDBApplicationEvents_OnChangedSelectionEventHandler(mmapp_OnChangedSelection);
mmapp.OnPlay += new SongsDB.ISDBApplicationEvents_OnPlayEventHandler(mmapp_OnPlay);
}

void mmapp_OnPlay()
{
// do something
}

void mmapp_OnChangedSelection()
{
// do something
}[/code]

It works like this with other COM/ActiveX enabled applications I'm working with (e.g. Skype), but not in MM. What am I doing wrong? And questions to the MediaMonkey developers: what did they do differently that it is so easy in scripting host but so confusing in .NET? Could somebody rewrite me my example in a way which will work? Tested? (Or do I need the Gold version... :-) )

Volker
