about mciSendString(): testing if is playing

[joaquim]

i have these code for test if the music is playing:

public: bool IsPlaying()
	{
		char mcidata[129]; // Data is returned by some MCI requests
		int mcidatalen=sizeof(mcidata)-1;
		
		mciSendString("status mode",mcidata,mcidatalen,NULL);
		if (!stricmp(mcidata,"playing") == 0) 
			return TRUE;
		else
			return FALSE;
	}

these code isn't correct. can anyone advice me?
