CDINFO Attributes Sample: Plays and Displays Information About CD Audio Tracks
The CDINFO attributes sample uses the Media Control Interface (MCI) APIs to retrieve the length of the audio tracks on the CD currently in your CD-ROM drive. CDINFO then draws a piechart to display track length. CDINFO also demonstrates how to use the ToolTip common control to implement a tool tip. This tool tip displays the audio track length corresponding to the cursor's location in the piechart.
Note
This sample may not exactly demonstrate some features of the Visual C++ wizards, libraries, and compiler, but it still shows how to complete the intended task.
