Win Media Control

[DarkNecromancer]

Hi guys, I dont use alot of the new stuff in V3, still program as though i used V2 , anyways i made a little thing to control win media player while in games and stuff and i just added a delete hotkey.

HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD6}", "mnext" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD4}", "prev" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD8}", "up" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD5}", "down" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD2}", "del" )
HotKeySet ( "^{ENTER}", "pause" )

while 1
    sleep( 50 )
wend

func mnext()
    send("{MEDIA_NEXT}")
Endfunc
func prev()
    send("{MEDIA_PREV}")
Endfunc
func up()
    send("{VOLUME_UP}")
Endfunc
func down()
    send("{VOLUME_DOWN}")
Endfunc
func pause()
    send("{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}")
Endfunc
Func del()
    ControlSend ("Windows Media Player", "", "ATL:SysListView322", "{DEL 2}")
EndFunc

Now the delete works fine, but when i use next then delete, the selected and currently playing are no longer on the same item. does anyone know any way to make them always be the same?

Well the best work around I could find is this...

It should work as long as before you run it you have the currently playing item selected.

HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD6}", "mnext" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD4}", "prev" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD8}", "up" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD5}", "down" )
HotKeySet ( "^{NUMPAD2}", "del" )
HotKeySet ( "^{ENTER}", "pause" )

While 1
    sleep( 50 )
wend

Func mnext()
    Send("{MEDIA_NEXT}")
    ControlSend ("Windows Media Player", "", 1, "{DOWN}")
Endfunc

Func prev()
    Send("{MEDIA_PREV}")
    ControlSend ("Windows Media Player", "", 1, "{UP}")
Endfunc

Func up()
    Send("{VOLUME_UP}")
Endfunc

Func down()
    Send("{VOLUME_DOWN}")
Endfunc

Func pause()
    Send("{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}")
Endfunc

Func del()
    ControlSend ("Windows Media Player", "", 1, "{DEL 2}")
EndFunc

hmm, i have it on random play, but i could switch it, doesn't matter. does anyone know how to do it will your guys fancy dlls?

You could just make a playlist with just song's you want on it, that way you wouldn't have to delete any .

lol i suppose, i just have built up a list of song a mile long and 90% of them i dont like, so i wanted to just press play, go play some css or guild wars and just press next, listen to a few songs, and delete the rest. But while trying to test all this, i ended up deleting 40% of it anyways. so i guess thats what im going to end up doing but i was just wondering how you would interface with it because i noticed that win media player has some odd Control IDs and classnames
