DVD.topMenu method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 topMenu method stops title playback and displays the top (or root) menu for the current title.

Syntax

DVD.topMenu()

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

Every DVD is authored differently. The DVD must contain a menu for this method to work. Some DVDs are authored so that the topMenu and titleMenu methods open the same menu. The topMenu method usually invokes the top (or root) menu but it may invoke the title menu instead, if there is no root menu available.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always succeeds, but does not perform the intended operation.
