Syntax

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

Return code Description
S_OK The method succeeded.

Remarks

This method causes Windows Media Player to release any system resources it is using, such as the audio device. The current media item, however, is not released.

When Windows Media Player is stopped, the current playback point in the media item is reset to the beginning of the item. Subsequently calling IWMPControls::play will start playback from the beginning of the media item. To halt a play operation without changing the current position, use the IWMPControls::pause method.

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Player 9 Series or later.

Header: Include wmp.h.

Library: Use wmp.dll.
