#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax

HRESULT IltmmPlay__get_CurrentPosition(pPlay, pVal)

C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_CurrentPosition(pVal)

 

IltmmPlay *pPlay;

/* pointer to an interface */

double *pVal;

/* current position */

Retrieves the current position, relative to the total duration of the media.

Parameter

Description

pPlay

Pointer to an IltmmPlay interface.

pVal

Pointer to a variable that receives the current position, in seconds.

Returns

S_OK

The function was successful.

<> S_OK

An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

This function returns the current position that playback has reached. The value ignores the playback rate and start time. For example, if you set the rate to 2.0 and the start time to five seconds, playing the media for four seconds yields a current position of 9.0 seconds (5 + 4 × 2.0).

If the media is paused or stopped, the current position is the point at which playback will resume.
