Windows Media Player
How do I Display the "Status Bar" Info into a textbox?
My form uses the Windows Media Player to Play an .mp3 file. I would like for it to display the Song Length/Time Remaining in a textbox.
To do this i suppose i could use a timer to refresh the Time Remaining part of it.
But i am lost as far as getting the Info in the first place.

Thanx a lot. it works good. But, How do i get it to display the time instead of a count? i.e., a 4:21 minutes long song displays as 261.
if you divide 261 by 60, you get 4.35 minutes... Just takes alittle division and formatting.
Understand?
Cheers!

I understand the division part of the issue.
i used this:
Label1.Caption = CStr(Fix(.CurrentPosition / 60)) & "/" &
CStr(Fix(.Duration / 60))
This won't display anything after the whole numbers.( i.e. (4.35) shows as (4)).
Although 261 divided by 60 = 4.35,
the duration for a 4.21 mp3 shows as 261. I wonder why that is?
However, I don't know how to format it to display the same as windows media player. i.e. 00:00/00:00.
I guess this is what i was looking for.

In the formula, Fix() returns a whole number. Remove the Fix() portions and you will get the decimal notation.

To display a time format, you could use the following function:
Function TimeFormat(lValue As Long) As String
Dim lMin As Long
Dim lSec As Long
lMin = Fix(lValue / 60)
lSec = lValue - (lMin * 60)
TimeFormat = Format(lMin, "00:") + Format(lSec, "00")
End Function
Then do:
Label1.Caption = TimeFormat(.CurrentPositio
Cheers!

Dim lMin As Long
Dim lSec As Long
lMin = Fix(lValue / 60)
lSec = lValue - (lMin * 60)
TimeFormat = Format(lMin, "00:") + Format(lSec, "00")
End Function
Then do:
Label1.Caption = TimeFormat(.CurrentPositio

One more thing,
I have another question out there (Q.10223451). You had answered it but i had rejected it because i needed more elaboration. Since then, the problem has been resolved and no one has answered it. Could you answer the question so i can "Clean-Up" my mess?
Thanx in advance.
