Winamp and mIRC DDE

Whilst fiddling with a Winamp Plugin called mIRCex, which sends the current played song to mIRC and says it rather proudly in the channel which i currently resided, I thought to myself.. how the hell does it do that?

After more fiddling, i discovered that i could control Winamp throught mIRCs DDE Server commands (a friend of mine even went on to write a script for mIRC which controled Winamp from this).

---

I was wondering if it is possible to write a VB program, which would use the DDE capabilitys of Winamp and mIRC to make a hybrid program, which allowed the user to use mIRCs chat functions and Winamps music controls, all on 1 dialog.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Heres the project files...
Its a basic program, but you can expand on it easily.

The 'txtServer.text' should be the same as the DDE server name set up in your mIRC. Default is "mIRC"

Im not shure how to send DDE messages to winamp. Im currently trying to figure out how to send them to Jet-Audio... With no luck.

Where are the project files? Sorry for the bump.

As this thread is 7 years old (and Ph34R hasn't visited this site in 6 years), I doubt you'll get them.
