The following examples show how to use the pause, resume, stop, and seek commands.
// Assume the file was opened with the alias 'movie'.
// Pause play.
mciSendString("pause movie", NULL, 0, NULL);
// Resume play.
mciSendString("resume movie", NULL, 0, NULL);
// Stop play.
mciSendString("stop movie", NULL, 0, NULL);
// Seek to the beginning.
mciSendString("seek movie to start", NULL, 0, NULL);
The following example shows how to change the seek mode:
// Set seek mode with the string interface.
// Assume the file was opened with the alias 'movie'.
void SetSeekMode(BOOL fExact)
{
if (fExact)
mciSendString("set movie seek exactly on", NULL, 0, NULL);
else
mciSendString("set movie seek exactly off", NULL, 0, NULL);
}
