Device Types
MCI recognizes a basic set of device types. A device type is a set of MCI drivers that share a common command set and
are used to control similar multimedia devices or data files. Many MCI commands,
such as open (MCI_OPEN), require you to specify a device type.
The following table lists the defined device types. The current implementation
of MCI includes command sets for a subset of these devices.

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 » |
