IWMPClosedCaption::get_SAMIStyle method (wmp.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The get_SAMIStyle method retrieves the closed captioning style.

HRESULT get_SAMIStyle(
  [out] BSTR *pbstrSAMIStyle
);

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.

Remarks

A SAMI file can contain several format style definitions. SAMI styles are defined between the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags in the SAMI file. A style is defined with a text string preceded by a # character. For example, the following code specifies text formatting to be used for a style.


#Emphasis1 {Name: Big Bold Italic; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;
            color: blue; font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: bold;
            font-style: italic;}


If no SAMI style is specified, the first style defined in the SAMI file is used by default.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always retrieves a BSTR containing an empty string.
