Appearently I already posted a topic phrased like this, but VB-World lost it, ohwell. Does anyone know how to retrieve things like the time length and position from the ActiveMovie Control once a file has been loaded into it? I want to do this because I want to be able to manipulate the control, without having to see it, this way I can make my own playing interface. Also does anyone know the API calls to get things like the sound volume or balance of the computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks alot.
