IltmmPlay::get_CurrentPosition

#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.
