How to do this in VB I don't know.
The Delphi code however has been posted before.

This code will give you the idea, keep in mind that FVSTForm is a simple (empty) form.

// Open and load the VST plugin
procedure LoadVST;
begin
  VSTOpenDialog.Execute;
  FVSTHandle := BASS_VST_ChannelSetDSP(FStream, PChar(VSTOpenDialog.FileName), 0, 0)
end;


procedure ShowVST;
var
  VSTPlugInfo: BASS_VST_INFO;
begin
  if not Assigned(FVSTForm) then
    FVSTForm := TVSTForm.Create(Application);

  if BASS_VST_GetInfo(FVSTHandle, @VSTPlugInfo) then
  begin
    if VSTPlugInfo.hasEditor then
    begin
      FVSTForm.Caption := ' ' + string(VSTPlugInfo.effectName) + ' - ' + string(VSTPlugInfo.vendorName);
      if VSTPlugInfo.editorHeight = 0 then
        FVSTForm.ClientHeight := 150
      else FVSTForm.ClientHeight := VSTPlugInfo.editorHeight;

      if VSTPlugInfo.editorWidth = 0 then
        FVSTForm.ClientWidth  := 300
      else FVSTForm.ClientWidth  := VSTPlugInfo.editorWidth;

      if (VSTPlugInfo.editorHeight = 0) or (VSTPlugInfo.editorWidth = 0) then
        FVSTForm.BorderStyle := bsSizeable
      else FVSTForm.BorderStyle := bsDialog;

      BASS_VST_EmbedEditor(FVSTHandle, 0);  // un-embed first!!
      if BASS_VST_EmbedEditor(FVSTHandle, FVSTForm.Handle) then
      begin
        if FVSTForm.Visible then
          FVSTForm.BringToFront
        else FVSTForm.Visible := True;
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;

// to unload the plugin (make sure the editor window is closed before you do this)
procedure UnloadVST;
begin
  if Assigned(FVSTForm) then
    FVSTForm.Hide;

  BASS_VST_ChannelRemoveDSP(FStream, FVSTHandle);
end;

Will this work in Delphi 7?

Can you do a sample containg the code, so I can then load VST plugins?

Keyman,
Tried using your code, but won't work for me. Can you create a sample contaning the code? So that I can then fix what's wrong with my code.

This was made in Delphi 7.

You need to (of course) declare some private fields for this to work.

VSTOpenDialog is a TFileOpenDialog;
FVSTForm is a TVSTForm; // make a standard form & name it VSTForm, add it to your project
FVSTHandle is a HSTREAM;
use the unit Bass_VST to solve all 'undeclared identifier: BASS_VST_XXX' errors

I don't have an example project or anything but it should be easy to implement with the pointers I gave you.
Just create a empty form, drop an FileOpenDialog on it and add the fields and methods as described before.

uses
  Windows, Classes, Dialogs, BASS!!!;  //Need bass for the HSTREAM type!!

type
  MyForm = class(TForm)
    VSTOpenDialog: TFileOpenDialog;
  private
    FVSTForm:  TVSTForm; // make a standard form & name it VSTForm, add it to your project
    FVSTHandle: HSTREAM;
    procedure LoadVST;
    procedure ShowVST;
    procedure UnloadVST;
  end;

implementation

uses
  bass_vst; 

procedure TMyForm.LoadVST;
begin
  // code here
end;

etc. etc.

Don't forget to use the bass_vst unit!
Add some buttons to test the stuff and of you go!

Where do I paste in the first code-and where to get Bass_VST unit?

      if (VSTPlugInfo.editorHeight = 0) or (VSTPlugInfo.editorWidth = 0) then
        FVSTForm.BorderStyle := bsSizeable
      else FVSTForm.BorderStyle := bsDialog;

      BASS_VST_EmbedEditor(FVSTHandle, 0);  // un-embed first!!
      if BASS_VST_EmbedEditor(FVSTHandle, FVSTForm.Handle) then
      begin
        if FVSTForm.Visible then
          FVSTForm.BringToFront
        else FVSTForm.Visible := True;
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;

// to unload the plugin (make sure the editor window is closed before you do this)
procedure UnloadVST;
begin
if Assigned(FVSTForm) then
    FVSTForm.Hide;

  BASS_VST_ChannelRemoveDSP(FStream, FVSTHandle);
end;
end.
END





Still having lots of problems-I tried adding the new code but won't work at all.  Added the declarations, BASS_VST.

Here's my code-can you help me to get it working?:

Hi,

Are you sure you want to do this?
Your project showed me that you don't have much programming experience  Huh
Anyway, to help you getting started I made a complete program to load and play music files and to load and show VST plugins.
