Windows Media Player

Question

Trying to setup some basic functions for the windows media player in a VB form. Its telling me playstate is readonly. anyway to change this?

Private Sub AxWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.PlayStateChange
        If Global_Variables.GameMusic = False Then
            AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsStopped
        End If
    End Sub

Answer 1

I think if you want to start and stop you need to use CtlControls:

MediaPlayer.Ctlcontrols.stop()

The playState property is read-only.

Holmes,

Be aware that there is a Microsoft product Windows Media Player and a .Net class Windows MediaPlayer.

It is a very nice one to use instead of the AXMediaplayer
