Answer 4

Hi Sameden2,

>i have added a wmp to my form but i cant get it to open a file to play

Set the URL property of the WMP ActiveX control to the path of the file to play. For example:

this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "file path";

In addition, if you want to stop playing the file, simply set the URL property to an empty string or call the close method of the WMP control:

this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "";
-or-
this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.close();

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

The following is the sample code to open a file and play it using Windows Media Player:

OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
 {
                this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = ofd.FileName;
 }

Hope this helps.

Answer 11

Hi Sam,

Use the following line of code to loop the track that is playing in WMP:

(this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.settings as WMPLib.IWMPSettings).setMode("loop", true);

For more information on IWMPSettings.setMode method, refer to the following document:
"IWMPSettings.setMode (VB and C#)"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb262592(VS.85).aspx

The following document introduces using WMP in .NET applications, which may be helpful to you:Using "the Windows Media Player Control in a .NET Framework Solution"

Hope this helps.
