*Sealed within the radiant Topazurum Sanctum, where crystals hum with the primal force of automation, the API Wizard is a sacred key to The Wizardium’s grimoire. Its runic seal, the elder ᚢ Uruz, yields only to masters of COM incantations, unveiling foobar2000’s ActiveX realm to command its core with arcane JavaScript.

⸺ Aurea Clavis Splendet ⸺

A Sacred Chapter Of The Wizardium

Arcana Of The Topaz Spell

• COM Automation Mastery: Manipulate foobar2000’s ActiveX objects for playback, playlist, and library control.
• Flexible Registration: Supports registration-free COM (via MinHook) or traditional registry-based COM.
• Scripting Power: Seamless JavaScript integration for dynamic automation, with getter/setter properties (e.g., window dimensions) and methods (e.g., window resizing, message display).
• API Reference: Comprehensive documentation for all COM methods and properties.

Gather The Relics

• Conjure foobar2000 - The foundational altar
• Summon Spider Monkey Panel or JSplitter - For JavaScript communion

Perform The Ritual

1. Invoke foobar2000's installation ceremony.
2. Channel this sacred chapter from its Topazurum Sanctum.
3. Bind the component to your foobar2000 essence.

Cast The Spell

• Configure COM Registration:

  • Set the COM registration method in MyCOM.cpp:

    static HRESULT RegisterMyCOM(std::wstring_view regMethod = L"RegFree"); // "RegFree" or "RegEntry"
    static HRESULT UnregisterMyCOM(std::wstring_view regMethod = L"RegFree"); // "RegFree" or "RegEntry"
    static HRESULT QuitMyCOM(std::wstring_view regMethod = L"RegFree"); // "RegFree" or "RegEntry"

    • RegFree: Uses registration-free COM for simplified deployment via MinHook.
    • RegEntry: Uses traditional registry-based COM registration.
  • Build the component using a C++ compiler and the foobar2000 SDK (included in the repository).

• Scripting with JavaScript:

  1. Use Spider Monkey Panel or JSplitter to access the API Wizard interface.
  2. Instantiate the MyCOM ActiveX object to manipulate foobar2000 properties and behaviors:

     const myCOM = new ActiveXObject('MyCOM');
     console.log(myCOM.WindowWidth); // Get window width
     myCOM.WindowWidth = 1000; // Set window width
     myCOM.SetWindowSize(1000, 500); // Set window size
     myCOM.PrintMessage(); // Display a message
