IWMSPlaylist.ElapsedSimpleTime (Visual Basic .NET)

The ElapsedSimpleTime property retrieves the simple duration of the active playlist element.

Syntax

  Integer =
  
  Playlist
  .ElapsedSimpleTime

Property Value

Integer containing the duration.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0x80070057 No media element is active.

Remarks

This property is read-only. The simple duration is defined by the explicit begin and duration attributes, if any. If there is no explicit begin or duration defined, the simple duration is defined by the implicit duration of the element. The simple duration does not include the repetition of elements.

Example Code

Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Private Sub GetElapsedTime()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim Players As IWMSPlayers
    Dim Player As IWMSPlayer
    Dim Playlist As IWMSPlaylist
    Dim iValue As Integer

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the IWMSPlayers object.
    Players = Server.Players

    ' Retrieve information about each requested playlist.
    For Each Player In Players

        ' Retrieve the playlist requested by the client
        ' if one exists.
        Playlist = Player.RequestedPlaylist

        ' Retrieve the elapsed time of the current
        ' playlist entry.
        iValue = Playlist.ElapsedSimpleTime
