You can parse the string looking for Hr Min Sec and CDbl to get your position.

Regrettably, I'm going to accept purquiz's answer, because even though it is right, I made the stupid mistake of only testing half the problem, the WRONG half :P If I hadn't given up, and tried to solve it myself, I'm sure I could have done it.<br />

Thankyou anyway purquiz :)<br />

Hi EE,<br />
<br />
I am using Visual Basic 6 and have a Windows Media Player control on my form. I want to be able to set the position of the current file playing through the code - not by clicking the progress bar. I can get the current position in two formats - raw (1.04356834) and string (03:28) - but I just can't work out how to set the position.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for your help,<br />

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
