Windows Media Player and Volume Control

[rmorvay]

I wrote a quick app to play music and I am having difficulty connecting a
slider control to the Windows Media Player control. Here is my difficulty. I
need to set the sliders min and max properties and utilize its value
property to manage the volume of the Windows Media Player control. I am not
sure which property on the windows media control I am suppose to manipulate.
I tried to use the following: mp.volume = vsVol.value in the sliders Scroll
method but since I cannot get the min and max values correct, this code
always breaks. Apparently, the media control can not handle postitive
integers so when the sliders value goes above 0 it breaks. What the heck is
that?

Thanks in advance.

Well I haven't even seen a bite on this question. So I will make it easier.
Can anyone point me to a good source of literature, documentation, website,
etc... that explains the windows media player properties in detail and how
they can be managed within vb.net?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rmorvay

This is not my stuff, but do you know msdn.microsoft.com

One search on "mediaplayer" did give me this link.
The header from it is almost the same as you are asking

This is a bit late but here is a solution to the slider volume problem.

Private Sub hsVolume_Scroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles hsVolume.Scroll
Me.wmp.settings.volume = Me.hsVolume.Value
Me.lblVolume.Text = Me.wmp.settings.volume
End Sub
