How make AxWindowsMediaP layer1.URL release lock on file

Is there a way to get AxWindowsMediaP layer1.URL to release it's lock on the
file it has finished playing? Because it is not letting go of the resource I
cannot delete the file and re-record it with another MP3 record tool.

I have a work around. I do like I do with my dog. I offer her something
else to put in her mouth and then she drops it to take hold of the new.

Likewise I give AxWindowsMediaP layer1.URL = blank.mp3 so he will releases
the file I need to delete and re-record.

Is there a better way??

Thanks!

Bob

So you have this problem, and you decide to use threads to solve it... System is Python 2.3.3 on Solaris 9. I'm using the classic Python thread model. Main thread puts stuff into a Queue.Queue() and worker threads get stuff out of it and do their thing. On occaision, I get an exception in the main thread when it tries to put something into the Queue.

I’m writing a thread wrapper for a safe thread termination by using stop event. Whenever the thread stop event is signaled, I want to release the thread in case it’s blocked on Monitor.Enter() or Monitor.Wait(). Note that when I’m writing this code, I do not know on what object the Monitor will block on. Is there a way to release the thread from the Monitor blocking except using Thread.Interrupt() (Any kind of wrapping is acceptable)...

Hi I'm faced with a very pesky problem. I have a managed assembly done in C++/CLI which interface to native C++ codes, and a C# app which consumes this assembly. I realize that when both the app adn assembly are in release mode, running in the VS IDE by pressing F5 with the active config set to release, it was able to work flawlessly. However, running the app and assembly on its own, will crash it. Debug mode however works both ways...

Hi, I have several processes accessing files from one folder, but only one process should ever access each file. Once one process has the file, no other process should be allowed to access it, even after the first process is finished with it, except in the case where the first process crashes.

How can I best play several mp3 files one immediately after the other? Will this tie up the AxWindowsMediaPlayer1 instance such that I can't use the instance again until the files finish playing or can I break out of this "playlist" early? Thanks! Bob

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
