Media Player Controls

[Wingnuttzz]

As part of my Advance Higher computing course at school, we are required to do a project, and for mine i have chosen to do a media player.

i have managed to successfully get the program to search for a media file using the "CommonDialogBox" and i have also managed to get a tag editor working.

i having huge problems implenting the playlist function though.
The program can right an array of URL's which i can get to indivudually play, but i can't move through the array. I can select each file in the array and play it, but i can't get the "Fast Forward" and "Rewind" button's to work, they are grey'd out.

i have spent countless hours browsing the internet trying to find some help on how to get the "Fast Forward" and "Rewind" button but to no avail.

Any body got any idea's on how to get this to work

cheers

Welcome to the Forums.

I assume you are using Windows Media Player?

sorry, i should have stated that in the original post

but in answer to your question, yes, i am using windows media player (found under "progect" and then "components" or something similar)

I have tried the above code, and found to make no difference at all.

Upon fiddling around with Windows Media Player (The actual one in XP/Vista) and creating a playlist and opening that playlist file in my program the "FastFoward" and "Back" button work now.

I went on to open the playlist file in notepad and it turns out to be very simple xml code.

so i think the answer to my question is to create a text file, write the first part of the xml code to it, add my array of URL's and then finish the xml code and that should work

hope that makes sense
