IMDSPObjectInfo::SetPlayLength method (mswmdm.h)
The SetPlayLength method sets the play length of the object, in units pertinent to the object. This is the maximum length that the object plays regardless of its actual length.
Syntax
HRESULT SetPlayLength(
[in] DWORD dwLength
);
Parameters
[in] dwLength
DWORD containing the play length to set for the object, in units pertinent to the object.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager can return any of the following classes of error codes:
- Standard COM error codes
- Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
- Windows Media Device Manager error codes
Remarks
If the value passed in is greater than the total length of the object, it is clipped to the length of the object minus the object's current play position minus one unit.
For playable files, the value to set is specified in milliseconds. The value is clipped to no more than the total length of the file minus the object's current play offset position. The play position information can change either when the user starts playing a file on the media device or when an application invokes the IMDSPDeviceControl::Play method.
For folders or file systems containing playable files, the value passed is the number of playable files in that folder or in the root of that file system.
