WMPNotifyPluginAddRemove function (wmpplug.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The WMPNotifyPluginAddRemove function notifies Windows Media Player that a plug-in has been installed or uninstalled.
Syntax
BOOL WMPNotifyPluginAddRemove();
Return value
The return value indicates whether the function call succeeded.
Remarks
This function is typically called by a user interface (UI) plug-in in its DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer methods. Windows Media Player Plug-in Wizard generates this code automatically, so it is only necessary to add calls to this function to UI plug-ins created without the wizard.
