ReaPack source is here (it's C++)

https://github.com/cfillion/reapack

A basic extension plugin example is here:

Out of interest, what do you want to do exactly ?

Maybe it's sufficient to go the script route instead of (more advanced) C++ extension plugin route ? Lots of graphic things are also possible by scripts as can be seen by various scripters here.

great! at the moment i am just curious as it looks so great. I had No idea it was on C++, has what i see of GUI elements in C++ been basically just Juce stuff and never seen this kind of Interface in a VST i was wondering if it's a framework, if this can compile in multiple systems or/and integrated with Juce and if it is worth. will check it now

Thank you

I use the Windows C API through a custom C++ abstraction layer. On macOS and Linux I use SWELL by Cockos which roughly emulates a subset of that API (using macOS' Cocoa or GTK behind the scene). This reduces the amount of external dependencies and makes ReaPack have a similar look-and-feel to REAPER. SWS uses the same.

In addition to Juce there are many cross-platform GUI libraries out there (Qt, GTK, wxWidgets... see wikipedia's list) – often with wrappers available a ton of languages. They ultimately all use the operating system's API to some extent.
