resume

  • Article

The resume command continues playing or recording on a device that has been paused using the pause command. Digital-video, VCR, and waveform-audio devices recognize this command. Although CD audio, MIDI sequencer, and videodisc devices also recognize this command, the MCICDA, MCISEQ, and MCIPIONR device drivers do not support it.

To send this command, call the mciSendString function with the lpszCommand parameter set as follows.

_stprintf_s(
  lpszCommand, 
  TEXT("resume %s %s"), 
  lpszDeviceID, 
  lpszFlags
);

Parameters

lpszDeviceID

Identifier of an MCI device. This identifier or alias is assigned when the device is opened.

lpszFlags

Can be "wait", "notify", or both. For digital-video and VCR devices, "test" can also be specified. For more information about these flags, see The Wait, Notify, and Test Flags.

Return Values

Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise.

Remarks

The following command continues playing or recording the "newsound" device:
