SoundPositionStringGet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Obtains a formatted string representing the current position during a playback session.

 

The string is formatted as hh:mm:ss:ms in which hh is for hours, mm is for minutes, ss is for seconds and ms is for milliseconds. For example [04:34:200] indicates that the playing sound has performed 4 minutes, 34 seconds and 200 milliseconds.

 

The numerical song position can be obtained using the SoundPositionGet method.

[Visual Basic]

control.SoundPositionStringGet (

nPlayer as Integer,

bShowHour as enumBoolean,

bShowMs as enumBoolean,

strHourSeparator as String,

strMsSeparator as String,

nNumberOfMsDigits as Integer,

bKeepCountOfRateChange as enumBoolean,

) as String


 

[C++]

LPCTSTR control.SoundPositionStringGet (

short nPlayer,

short bShowHour,

short bShowMs,

BSTR strHourSeparator,

short bKeepCountOfRateChange,

);


 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

nPlayer

Number representing the zero-based index of the player whose information must be retrieved

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

0
