Hello,

I'd like to use the MCISendString API in my VB5 program,
but I don't know where I can find the different command
strings that are passed to the MCISendString API first
parameter ?

I am a beginner in VB, can someone help me please ?

Thanks

Frank.

If you have Developers Studio 97 you can search for "MCI Command Strings".
There's a seperate page for each command, so I can't easily mail you a copy,
in case you haven't got DevStudio. Maybe MS have something on their
homepage?

Frank,

You can find a lot of information that you will need now, and in the
future, at http://msdn.microsoft.com.  You can register to use this site
for free.  The information about MCI is found under the "Graphics and
Mulimedia Services" category.

HTH,
