IWMPEvents::PlayStateChange 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 PlayStateChange event occurs when the play state of the Windows Media Player control changes.

Syntax

void PlayStateChange(
  [in] long NewState
);

Parameters

[in] NewState

Specifies the new state.

Return value

None

Remarks

Windows Media Player states are not guaranteed to occur in any particular order. Furthermore, not every state necessarily occurs during a sequence of events. You should not write code that relies upon state order.
