MCIWndGetPositionString
The MCIWndGetPositionString macro retrieves the numerical value of the current position within the content of the MCI device. This macro also provides the current position in string form in an application-defined buffer. You can use this macro or explicitly send the MCIWNDM_GETPOSITION message.
LONG MCIWndGetPositionString(
hwnd,
lp,
len
);
Parameters
hwnd
Handle of the MCIWnd window.
lp
Pointer to an application-defined buffer used to return the position. Use zero to inhibit retrieval of the position as a string.
If the device supports tracks, the string position information is returned in the form TT:MM:SS:FF where TT corresponds to tracks, MM and SS correspond to minutes and seconds, and FF corresponds to frames.
len
Size, in bytes, of the buffer. If the null-terminated string is longer than the buffer, it is truncated. Use zero to inhibit retrieval of the position as a string.
Return Values
Returns an integer corresponding to the current position. The units for the position value depend on the current time format.
