i makeing a media player in visual basic

but i have one problem with my code

i have a code like this: "ProgressBarX1.Text = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition" and the text on the progressbar is changing but it take 00:00:00:00

i just want it to show just hours, minutes, seconds not mili seconds

What is the type of that 'currentPosition' property? If it's TimeSpan, call ToString on it and pass the appropriate specifier for the format you want.

Um, in your code.

[jmcilhinney]

in Windows media player Properties the Current position say it is 1.000

I asked what the type is, not the value. Is it String? Double? TimeSpan? Something else?

[themarwik]

it working now. i set it to ProgressBarX1.Text = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPositionString

[jmcilhinney]

That is exactly what you should expect from that code. Now, are you going to answer my question or not? If not then please say so because I'd rather not keep asking the same question over and over.

its a string

[jmcilhinney]

What you have said so far doesn't really add up. You said in post #1 that you get something in 00:00:00:00 format and in post #4 you said that it has the value 1.000. If you get a String that contains "1.000" and you display it in a TextBox then you won't magically get something in the format you originally stated. If it is a String then you need to parse it to a number or the like and then format it as required but we can't tell you how to parse it if you can't actually describe clearly what it contains and what that represents.

i looked in the settings of media player not in the code

I don't really know how that is supposed to help.

Since he said he changed from using CurrentPosition to CurrentPositionString in post #7 and the issue was resolved there isn't a lot of reason to care what type CurrentPosition is. The whole reason they provide CurrentPositionString is so you don't have to convert CurrentPosition into a formatted string yourself, CurrentPositionString already gives you HH:MM:SS.

themarwik, you should mark the thread resolved. There is an option to do that at the start of the thread.

For the record, CurrentPosition is a Single.

That's not what post #7 said originally. It was edited two minutes after I had already posted my next reply and I never looked back at it to see that it had changed. This is an example of why editing of posts should not be used like that. If a new post had been added instead then significant confusion could have been avoided.
