IWMPControls::put_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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 put_currentMarker method specifies the current marker number.
Syntax
HRESULT put_currentMarker(
[in] long lMarker
);
Parameters

long containing the marker.

| Return code | Description |

The method succeeded. |
Remarks
Specifying a marker with the put_currentMarker method causes playback to start from that marker. Before attempting to specify a marker with put_currentMarker, determine whether a file has markers and how many it has by calling IWMPMedia::get_markerCount. If a file has no markers, specifying a marker to anything but zero by using put_currentMarker results in an error. Specifying a marker to a number higher than a number retrieved by using IWMPMedia::get_markerCount also results in an error.
Until the current media item is set (using IWMPCore::put_URL or IWMPCore::put_currentMedia), get_currentMarker retrieves a marker that is zero.
