My last stupid question of the week...

Anyone know the syntax to set the selectionstart for a mediaplayer object in
a userform please? I thought MP.selectionstart = 300 would start it 300
seconds in but apparently not. I'm using WMP 6 btw for various obscure
reasons 8-)

Many thanks in advance

I am sure I will be corrected by smarter people, but I don't believe
selectionstart is an option for mediaplayer objects. SelectionStart is a
textbox control that allows you to select portions of entries into the
textbox.

When waiting 300 seconds, do you have users looking at something else on the
userform? or is it on a worksheet? You could use the application.wait
function to time the opening of the userform with the WP control on it. I
can't seem to find anything to have the player wait to play.

I've done this before, s oI know it can be done, but I didn't keep the
sheet, rather stupidly. It needed a command inserting in the module that
summoned the userform iirc

Thanks for the heads up. I'm learning new things everyday.

So after some searching and playing I came up with the following:
WP.Controls.currentPosition = 300

Instead of selectionStart it sets teh current position of the player in the
song. The number is still in seconds. I had this in a userform_initialize
event but could put it other places as well.

Hope that works
