That's an interesting plugin, and seems to be working well. Nice work

It looks like the config options would need to be accessed while playing a track. To make that easier for the user, I would suggest making the config window a modeless (rather than modal) dialog and adding a shortcut key option to open it, so that it can be opened/closed independently of XMPlay's "Options" window. XMPlay 4.1 added a GetPopupParent function for hosting modeless dialogs. For example, you could do something like this:

Code SelectExpand

HWND confwin; // config window

BOOL CALLBACK ConfigDialogProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (uMsg) {
...
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
            confwin = hWnd;
...
        case WM_DESTROY:
            confwin = 0;
...
}

void WINAPI DSP_Config(void *inst, HWND win)
{
    if (confwin) // config already open
        SetForegroundWindow(confwin); // bring to front
    else {
        HWND parent;
        if (xmpfmisc->GetVersion() >= 0x04010000) // XMPlay 4.1
            parent = xmpfmisc->GetPopupParent();
        else
            parent = xmpfmisc->GetWindow()
        CreateDialog(hInstance, lpName, parent, ConfigDialogProc); // create modeless dialog
    }
}

void WINAPI Shortcut_Config()
{
    if (enabled) DSP_Config(0, 0); // open config window if plugin is activated
}

XMPDSP *WINAPI XMPDSP_GetInterface2(DWORD face, InterfaceProc faceproc)
{
...
    static XMPSHORTCUT shortcut = { 0x22000, "Song Limit - Config", Shortcut_Config };
    xmpfmisc->RegisterShortcut(&shortcut);
...
}

Note that shortcut IDs needs to be unique amongst all plugins. You can have the 0x22000-0x22FFF block for your plugins.

Good idea !

Thank you for your advice, it will be very useful to me. 

I'll do my best to make it works.
