IWMPMedia::markerCount property

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 gets the number of markers in the media item.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

public System.Int32 markerCount {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property markerCount As System.Int32

Property value

A System.Int32 that is the marker count.

Remarks

This property returns zero if a file has no markers, or if the media item is not the same as the one specified in AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.

Marker numbers start at 1.

Before using this property, you must have read access to the library. For more information, see Library Access.

Examples

The following example uses 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 and display it in a multi-line text box. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.

// Get the number of markers in the current media item.
int mcount = player.currentMedia.markerCount;

// Create an array to store the list of markers.
string[] markerNames = new string[mcount];

// Verify that at least one marker exists in the current media item.
if (mcount > 0)
{
    // Loop through the marker list.
    for (int i = 1; i < mcount + 1; i++)
    {
        // Store the marker name in the array.
        markerNames[i]= player.currentMedia.getMarkerName(i);
    }

    // Display the marker names in the text box.
    markerList.Lines = markerNames;            
}

' Get the number of markers in the current media item.
Dim mcount As Integer = player.currentMedia.markerCount

' Create an array to store the list of markers.
Dim markerNames(mcount) As String

' Verify that at least one marker exists in the current media item.
If (mcount > 0) Then

    ' Loop through the marker list.
    For i As Integer = 1 To mcount

        ' Store the marker name in the array.
        markerNames(i) = player.currentMedia.getMarkerName(i)

    Next i

    ' Display the marker names in the text box.
    markerList.Lines = markerNames

End If
