Stops playback of the current clip.
Compatibility:Windows Media Player, ActiveMovie
MediaPlayer.Stop( )
Return Values
No return value.
Remarks
If the value of the SendPlayStateChangeEventsproperty is true and the file is not currently stopped, calling this method causes a PlayStateChangeevent to occur.
Calling this method results in the following behavior:
- If the file is seekable, the current position does not change. It is identical to calling the Pausemethod.
- If the file is not seekable, the current position is changed to zero: the beginning of the clip.
- If the
AutoRewindproperty is set
to TRUE, the current position is set to the beginning of the clip.
This behavior is different than pressing the stop button on the Microsoft Windows Media Player application, which always resets the current position to zero. To halt a play operation without changing the current position no matter how the file is encoded, use the Pausemethod.
This method causes the Windows Media Player control to release any system resources it is using, such as the audio device.
This method also resets the Rateproperty to the default value of 1.0.
