IWMPDVD::topMenu 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 topMenu method stops playback and displays the top (or root) menu for the current title.

Syntax

HRESULT topMenu();

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.

Remarks

Every DVD is authored differently. The DVD must contain a menu for this method to work. Some DVDs are authored so that the topMenu and IWMPDVD::titleMenu methods open the same menu. The topMenu method usually invokes the top (or root) menu, but it may invoke the title menu if there is no root menu available.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always returns S_OK, but does not perform the intended operation.
