Programmatic control for Windows Media Player Mobile

Question

Is it possible to control windows media player programmatically?  I need to write an application that would control the WMP.  For example, my application needs to be able to send commands like - start, pause, stop, FF, RW etc.  Does WMP provide such hooks to do so?

Thanks.

Which platform do you use?
This is WPF forum.

Hi EKEngineer,

We can send message to control Media player via SendMessage method.  For more information:

If it is on WM platform, it can only stop Media player, can't do other control, like pause, etc.
