Using BSplayer API

HackerWerger · #1 (**permalink**) 30th April 2003

I want to use BSplayer's api but I'm doing something wrong. I'm using "getwindow" and "sendmessagetimeout" and both of them are returning a non-zero number. So, they are working but I can't figure out how to get p.e. the value of BSplayer's version. :( Please help!

Ok. I will release the next stable version of the BSplayer's launcher without API support. :( I still can't figure out how the sendmessagetimeout works..
Just wait 4-5 days..

afaik, BSPlayer's GetVersion API returns 0xffffffff for all version so far..

Halle can you send me a sample code of the sendmessagetimeout in my e-mail? I prefer it in VB6.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not a VB programmer, however, I can give you some code in C or asm.

C code to get current playing position in msec would look something like:

Code:

  HWND hWndBsplayer;
  DWORD dwMsecPos;
  hWndBsplayer = FindWindow("BSPlayer", NULL);
  dwMsecPos = SendMessage(hWndBsplayer, WM_BSP_CMD, BSP_GetMovPos, 0Â´);

Then dwMsecPos should contain the current playing position in msec.

has any one done a VB class for this? I was hoping so, but no luck searching so far. Please contactme if you do.
Looks like I'll be bastardising the Winamp class i found!
Cheers,
Matt
