IWMPMedia::getMarkerName method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 getMarkerName method returns the name of the marker at the specified index.

Syntax

public System.String getMarkerName(
  System.Int32 MarkerNum
);

Public Function getMarkerName( _
  ByVal MarkerNum As System.Int32 _
) As System.String
Implements IWMPMedia.getMarkerName

Parameters

MarkerNum [in]

A System.Int32 that is the marker index.

Return value

A System.String that is the marker name.

Remarks

This method returns NULL if the specified marker does not exist.

Some media items do not contain markers. Use markerCount to find out how many markers are in the current media item.

Marker index numbers start at 1.

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

Examples

The following code example uses getMarkerName to fill a multi-line text box with the names of the markers in the current media item. 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 marker names
string[] markers = new string[mcount];

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

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

' 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 marker names
Dim markers(mCount) As String

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

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

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

    Next i

End If

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