Media.markerCount
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 markerCount property retrieves the number of markers in the media item.
Syntax
player.currentMedia.markerCount
Possible Values
This property is a read-only Number (long) specifying the number of markers in the file.
Remarks
This property returns zero if a file has no markers, or if the media item is not the same as Player.currentMedia.
Marker numbers start at 1.
To retrieve the value of this property, read access to the library is required. For more information, see Library Access.
Examples
The following JScript example uses Media.markerCount to retrieve the number of markers in the current media item. That value is then used as the upper boundary for a looping structure, which iterates through the marker list to retrieve each marker name. An HTML TEXTAREA element named MNAMES displays the names of the markers in the current media item. The Player object was created with ID = "Player".
// Get the number of markers in the current media item.
var mcount = Player.currentMedia.markerCount;
// Verify that at least one marker exists in the current media item.
if (mcount > 0){
// Loop through the marker list.
for (var i = 1; i < mcount + 1; i++){
// Print the marker name to the text area.
MNAMES.value += Player.currentMedia.getMarkerName(i);
MNAMES.value += "\n";
}
