SoundDurationStringGet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Retrieves a string containing the formatted sound duration using the following format [hh:mm:ss:ms(3)] in which hh is for hours, mm is for minutes, ss is for seconds and ms(3) are three characters representing the milliseconds. For example [04:34:200] indicates a song during 0 hours (the hours number is automatically omitted if 0), 4 minutes, 34 seconds and 200 milliseconds.

 

The song duration in milliseconds can be obtained using the SoundDurationGet method.

strHourSeparator

Character used to separate hours, minutes and seconds, typically this should be set to ":"

strMsSeparator

Character used to separate seconds and milliseconds, typically this should be set to "."

nNumberOfMsDigits

Number of characters used to represent milliseconds digits, can be in the range from 1 to 3; values outside this range will be automatically set to 3.

bKeepCountOfRateChange

Boolean flag that specifies if the returned position must keep count of eventual playback rate changes set through previous calls to the Effects.PlaybackTempoSet or Effects.PlaybackRateSet methods.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Value

Meaning

BOOL_FALSE
