reading components version

Hi!

I'm using foobar for quite a while now and try to write a little application, which reads the version of each plugin in my components-folder. Since only few components use the Windows version file header and "hide" (I know it's by design) their version inside and since I'm a quite unexperienced C++ programmer, I have a hard time figuring out how to use the sdk to get the components to "tell me their secrets" (version, author, comment..).

I guess I'll have to access them through calling foobar2000_get_interface (with some arguments, which I don't know how to initialize), use the get_version function of the (hopefully) returned foobar2000_client interface to get a handle to some kind of componentversion interface from which I then could retrive the desired information.

The problem simply is that I don't know how to implement this in C++ (I actually tried to convert the sdk api to C# - which is my "native" language - no success). I would be glad if someone could help me here.

Cheers,
Andreas
