MCI_STATUS

  • Artikel

The MCI_STATUS command retrieves information about an MCI device. All devices recognize this command. Information is returned in the dwReturn member of the structure identified by the lpStatus parameter*.*

To send this command, call the mciSendCommand function with the following parameters.

MCIERROR mciSendCommand(
  MCIDEVICEID wDeviceID, 
  MCI_STATUS, 
  DWORD dwFlags, 
  (DWORD) (LPMCI_STATUS_PARMS) lpStatus
);

Parameters

wDeviceID

Device identifier of the MCI device that is to receive the command message.

dwFlags

MCI_NOTIFY, MCI_WAIT, or, for digital-video and VCR devices, MCI_TEST. For information about these flags, see The Wait, Notify, and Test Flags.

lpStatus

Pointer to an MCI_STATUS_PARMS structure. (Devices with extended command sets might replace this structure with a device-specific structure.)

Return Values

Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise.

Remarks

The following additional standard and command-specific flags apply to all devices supporting MCI_STATUS:

MCI_STATUS_ITEM

Specifies that the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus contains a constant specifying which status item to obtain. The following constants define which status item to return in the dwReturn member of the structure:

MCI_STATUS_CURRENT_TRACK

The dwReturn member is set to the current track number. MCI uses continuous track numbers.

MCI_STATUS_LENGTH

The dwReturn member is set to the total media length.

MCI_STATUS_MODE

The dwReturn member is set to the current mode of the device. The modes include the following:

MCI_MODE_NOT_READY
MCI_MODE_PAUSE
MCI_MODE_PLAY
MCI_MODE_STOP
MCI_MODE_OPEN
MCI_MODE_RECORD
MCI_MODE_SEEK

MCI_STATUS_NUMBER_OF_TRACKS

The dwReturn member is set to the total number of playable tracks.

MCI_STATUS_POSITION

The dwReturn member is set to the current position.

MCI_STATUS_READY

The dwReturn member is set to TRUE if the device is ready; it is set to FALSE otherwise.

MCI_STATUS_TIME_FORMAT

The dwReturn member is set to the current time format of the device. The time formats include:

MCI_FORMAT_BYTES
MCI_FORMAT_FRAMES
MCI_FORMAT_HMS
MCI_FORMAT_MILLISECONDS
MCI_FORMAT_MSF
MCI_FORMAT_SAMPLES
MCI_FORMAT_TMSF

MCI_STATUS_START

Obtains the starting position of the media. To get the starting position, combine this flag with MCI_STATUS_ITEM and set the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus to MCI_STATUS_POSITION.

MCI_TRACK

Indicates a status track parameter is included in the dwTrack member of the structure identified by lpStatus. You must use this flag with the MCI_STATUS_POSITION or MCI_STATUS_LENGTH constants. When used with MCI_STATUS_POSITION, MCI_TRACK obtains the starting position of the specified track. When used with MCI_STATUS_LENGTH, MCI_TRACK obtains the length of the specified track. MCI uses continuous track numbers.

The following additional flags are used with the cdaudio device type. These constants are used in the dwItem member of the structure pointed to by the lpStatus parameter when MCI_STATUS_ITEM is specified for the dwFlags parameter.

MCI_CDA_STATUS_TYPE_TRACK

The dwReturn member is set to one of the following values:

MCI_CDA_TRACK_AUDIO
MCI_CDA_TRACK_OTHER

To use this flag, the MCI_TRACK flag must be set, and the dwTrack member of the structure identified by lpStatus must contain a valid track number.

MCI_STATUS_MEDIA_PRESENT

The dwReturn member is set to TRUE if the media is inserted in the device; it is set to FALSE otherwise.

The following additional flags are used with the digitalvideo device type:

MCI_DGV_STATUS_DISKSPACE

The lpstrDrive member of the structure identified by lpStatus specifies a disk drive or, in some implementations, a path. The MCI_STATUS command returns the approximate amount of disk space that could be obtained by the MCI_RESERVE command in the dwReturn member of the structure identified by lpStatus. The disk space is measured in units of the current time format.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_INPUT

The constant specified by the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus applies to the input.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_LEFT

The constant specified by the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus applies to the left audio channel.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_NOMINAL

The constant specified by the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus requests the nominal value rather than the current value.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_OUTPUT

The constant specified by the dwItem member of the structure identified by lpStatus applies to the output.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_RECORD

The frame rate returned for the MCI_DGV_STATUS_FRAME_RATE flag is the rate used for compression.

MCI_AVI_STATUS_AUDIO_BREAKS

The dwReturn member returns the number of times the audio portion of the last AVI sequence broke up. The system counts an audio break whenever it attempts to write audio data to the device driver and discovers that the driver has already played all of the available data. This flag is recognized only by the MCIAVI digital-video driver.

MCI_AVI_STATUS_LAST_PLAY_SPEED

The dwReturn member returns a value representing how closely the actual playing time of the last AVI sequence matched the target playing time. The value 1000 indicates that the target time and the actual time were the same. A value of 2000, for example, would indicate that the AVI sequence took twice as long to play as it should have. This flag is recognized only by the MCIAVI digital-video driver.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_AUDIO

The dwReturn member returns MCI_ON or MCI_OFF depending on the most recent MCI_SET_AUDIO option for the MCI_SET command. It returns MCI_ON if either or both speakers are enabled, and MCI_OFF otherwise.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_AUDIO_INPUT

The dwReturn member returns the approximate instantaneous audio level of the analog audio signal. A value greater than 1000 implies there is clipping distortion. Some devices can determine this value only while recording audio. This status value has no associated MCI_SET or MCI_SETAUDIO command. This value is related to, but normalized differently from, the waveform-audio command MCI_WAVE_STATUS_LEVEL.

MCI_DGV_STATUS_AUDIO_RECORD
