Compile for MacOS / WinForm example about audioplugsharp HOT 4 CLOSED

Have a look at how SharpSoundDevice (a C# VST2 solution I used to use before I wrote AudioPlugSharp) does it:

https://github.com/ValdemarOrn/SharpSoundDevice/blob/aed15cbb5937838028cf85b3e252fc12309ed9be/SharpSoundDevice/DeviceUtilities.cs

In particular:

		public static void DockWinFormsPanel(System.Windows.Forms.Control panel, IntPtr vstWindow)
		{
			System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles();

			panel.Top = 0;
			panel.Left = 0;

			SetParent(panel.Handle, vstWindow);
		}

It should be as simple as that to link up a Window Forms control with the parent window handle from the VST.

I have not tried to get it to work in MacOS. I suspect there would be two issues. First, AudioPlugSharp uses C++/CLR for bootstrapping the managed code. This is Windows-only, so a different solution would be required for MacOS. Second, a different UI integration would be required.

As for WinForms, I do not have an example, but it should be relatively easy to do. You would need to create a WinForms context from the window pointer the VST host passes instead of a WPF context.

I was suspicious about the UI integration indeed, but didn't know about C++/CLR, thanks for the clarification !

All right, thanks then, I'll try to make a simple working example in WinForms !

Ah thanks that's a great example !
