Windows Media Player Control

[GDOG34]

Ok I have 2 questions:

Question 1:

Is there a way where I can have two times in two captions i.e:

Time1: 2:05 Time2 :3:05

Is there a way where I can tell the Windows Media Player to open a file and play from the start time and stop at the second time?

Question 2:

Is there a way where I can get the current time of the movie playing and put it in a label ?

[GDOG34]

Nothing?

I want the move to start at "1:10" and I have:

MovieS.Controls.currentPosition = "0110"

Why dosent this work?

[GDOG34]

So can this be done with the media player control or do I have to look elsewhere?

[GDOG34]

What is the proper way to declaring a start position and a ending position for the Windows Media Player Control? So when a button is pressed it gets the start position from a textbox and a timer will check the current position and compare the time to whats in another textbox and if the position is equal then the movie stops.

Is there?

CurrentPosition must be in seconds. If you want it to start at "1:10", then you should set it to "70".

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text1.Text = "70" '1:10
    Text2.Text = "90" '1:30
    Timer1.Interval = 1000
    
    WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.currentPosition = Text1.Text
    WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "C:\myvideo.avi"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    If WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.currentPosition >= Text2.Text Then
        WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.stop
    End If
End Sub

Thanks, thats exactly what I am looking for..Is there a way to seperate whats in the textbox? Lets say someone entered 1:10 is there a way to convert it over to 70 seconds?

You can do something like this, assuming the video isn't longer than 1 hour.

MsgBox CDate("00:" & Text1.Text) * 86400

Ok, thanks but what if the video is longer than 1 hour?

[GDOG34]

Can the video be over an hour?

[Chris001]

Yes, simply remove the "00:".

MsgBox CDate(Text1.Text) * 86400
