Communication with MCI Devices
It is possible for each MCI device to use one of more of the following as
identifiers:
- a device identifier
- a device name
- an alias
- the filename of the currently loaded content.
MCIWnd provides macros you can use to retrieve this information. You can then
use this information to communicate through MCI directly with MCI devices
associated with MCIWnd windows.
You can retrieve the identifier of the current MCI device by using the MCIWndGetDeviceID macro. The MCI device identifier is a numerical value that identifies the
instance of the MCI device your application is using. Your application can use
this identifier when communicating with an MCI device by using the mciSendCommand function.
To retrieve the name of the current MCI device, use the MCIWndGetDevice macro. The MCI device name is a null-terminated string that identifies the
device type associated with an MCIWnd window. Your application can use this name
when communicating with an MCI device by using mciSendCommand.
You can retrieve the alias of the current MCI device by using the MCIWndGetAlias macro. Your application can use this alias when communicating with an MCI
device by using the mciSendString function.
Finally, you can retrieve the filename used by an MCI device by using the MCIWndGetFileName macro. The filename identifies the content currently associated with an
MCIWnd window. Your application can use this filename when communicating with a MCI
device by using mciSendCommand or mciSendString.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
