Code Select Expand

Public Function command(text As String)
Dim commandStr() As String
commandStr = Split(text, " ", 2)
   Select Case (LCase(commandStr(0)))
       Case "play"
           'SendMessage to winamp
       Case "next"
           'SendMessage to winamp
       Case "back"
           'SendMessage to winamp
       Case "stop"
           'SendMessage to winamp
       Case "pause"

       Case Else

End Function

Im not sure what your asking but that might help.

I know it's big, but I thought it was hard to find this exact document on Winamp's website, and I also don't have anywhere to upload the file to, so I'll post the important parts.

And yes, I do know it's not in VB - boo hoo, it's an API call.

Edit: You'll have to go find out what WM_COMMAND and WM_USER is equal to with Google.

Edit: I don't remember how you get the handle to Winamp's window, but I believe it's something like:

[Grok]

Since you DID find the it on winamp's website, you could have just linked to the document.

[Meh]

I dont me too sound rude but he did say he couldnt find exact document.

I dont me too sound rude but he did say he couldnt find exact document.

No, he said he had trouble finding it.

[Eli_1]

The information is no longer on their webpage in such a way that you can just go there and read it. You must first download their SDK and search through the files included in the .zip untill you find the document.

the only reason i feel that is not right is because "pops up the load file(s) box

IPC_PLAYFILE is what you want.

I dont understand what you mean. How is it what I "want" I see playfile in my code, does that mean its right or wrong.
