Loop in Windows Media Player control

Question：Hello

I am using a Windows Media Player control in my software, and I need to know if it is possible to set a file to loop.

From the Reference section online, it looks like the AutoRewind property is what I need to set, but I am unable to find it.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1：

Hello Guyjos,

.

 

The loop feature is not one that is included in Windows Media Player 11. This feature is available through third party programs which can be found for free using your search engine and doing a keyword search.

 

Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

Answer 2：Hi

Thanks for that.  It's pretty rubbish that it's not included!

Would it be possible to handle some of the events of the media player control to "enable" it, by resetting the position to the end?

Thanks

Answer 3：There is a better way - provided by another contributor from another forum:

    Private   Sub   LoadForm(ByVal   sender As   System.Object, ByVal   e As   System.EventArgs) Handles   MyBase  .Load
          AddHandler   WMPPlayer1.PlayStateChange, AddressOf   Player_PlayStateChange
      End   Sub  
  
      Private   Sub   Player_PlayStateChange(ByVal   sender As   Object  , ByVal   e As   AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles   WMPPlayer1.PlayStateChange
          If   e.newState = 1 Then  
              If   MODGeneralRoutines.player1Loop = True   Then  
                  WMPPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play()
              End   If  
          End   If  
      End   Sub  
  

Sorted!

Thanks for your help though
