Start Windows Media Player in middle of video

Question

I am developing an Access database that uses Windows Media Player (WMP) on a form. I can change the video that is playing using code to reset the URL. I often need to start the video part way into the video. Say 5 minutes into the video. How do I code that?

Thanks in advance

Ken

Answer 1

Why not just edit the video?

Build a little, test a little

Answer 2

The app shows sections of many videos and selects different sections based on established criteria at the time of showing.

Answer 3

Hello Ken,

Do you want to let the video start from 5 minutes?

According to Using the Windows Media Player Control with Microsoft Office, you could go to property sheet -> Others -> custom -> Advanced -> Current position

In VBA, it would be:

Dim a As WindowsMediaPlayer
Set a = Me.WindowsMediaPlayer0
a.Controls.currentPosition = ""

Regards,

Celeste
