IWMPControls::get_currentMarker method (wmp.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The get_currentMarker method retrieves the current marker number.

Syntax

HRESULT get_currentMarker(
  [out] long *plMarker
);

Parameters

[out] plMarker

Pointer to a long containing the marker.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.

Remarks

The get_currentMarker method always retrieves a pointer to the current or last marker, which means the actual file position can be either at the current marker or before the next marker. Markers are numbered beginning at 1, so if a file has markers, you can change the current playback position to zero by calling IWMPControls::put_currentMarker to and specifying the marker as zero .

Until the current media item is set (using IWMPCore::put_URL or IWMPCore::put_currentMedia), get_currentMarker retrieves a marker that is zero.
