Controls.next 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 next method sets the current item to the next item in the playlist.

Syntax

Controls.next()

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

If the playlist is on the last entry when next is invoked, the first entry in the playlist will become the current one.

For server-side playlists, this method skips to the next item in the server-side playlist, not the client playlist.

When playing a DVD, this method skips to the next logical chapter in the playback sequence, which may not be the next chapter in the playlist. When playing DVD stills, this method skips to the next still.

Examples

The following example creates an HTML BUTTON element that uses next to move to the next item in the current playlist. The Player object was created with ID = "Player".

<INPUT TYPE = "BUTTON"  ID = "NEXT"  NAME = "NEXT"  VALUE = ">>|"
    onClick = "

        /* Check first to be sure the operation is valid. */
        if (Player.controls.isAvailable('Next'))

            /* Move to the next item in the playlist. */
            Player.controls.next();
">
