Hi,
I've been looking for a method to control the WMP application from a VB app (running on the same computer). There is a 7 yr old thread (thread222-1104868) from the VB5/6 forum that shows a simplistic method of sending commands to the app, but it is limited to play/stop/ff/rew. I also looked at the SDK on MSDN, but was unable to find anything specific to what I'm hoping to do. At a minimum, I'm hoping there is a complete list of commands I can 'throw' at the running WMP app. Ideally, an API into the running WMP app with playlist control, etc, would be awesome.
Note that I do not want to just use the WMP control within my app. I need WMP to be running on its own.
Thanks.
Mike
