But is there a general way to use Methods? I don't understand how to use CoHelper.

Sure. I may try it if you send me the TypeLib file.
Or just tell me where I can download the file.

OK, I found the installer and extracted it. The needed file turned out to be iTunes.exe.
Here is the code.

Code:
#Include CoHelper.ahk

CoInitialize()

CLSID_iTunesApp := "{DC0C2640-1415-4644-875C-6F4D769839BA}"
 IID_IiTunes    := "{9DD6680B-3EDC-40DB-A771-E6FE4832E34A}"

piT := CreateObject(CLSID_iTunesApp, IID_IiTunes)

DllCall(VTable(piT,11), "Uint", piT)         ; Play
DllCall(VTable(piT, 9), "Uint", piT)         ; NextTrack

Release(piT)

CoUninitialize()

Big Thanks Sean, that helps me a lot.

Can you tell me how you get the values? Especially the values for Play and NextTrack.

I used oleview.exe/tlb.exe, mentioned here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtop ... 7&start=15

I used File -> View TypeLib/Open menu there, so I didn't have to actually install iTunes.

Thanks. That's helpful. Is the Codeview of TLB the only way to get the VTable-values?

Another problem: How to get Values/Results? This does not work:

RESULT := DllCall(VTable(piT, 35), "Uint", piT) ; get_SoundVolume

I also tried:

DllCall(VTable(piT, 35), "Uint", piT, "Uint", RESULT) ; get_SoundVolume

Setting the Volume works this way:

DllCall(VTable(piT, 36), "Uint", piT, "Uint", VOLUME) ; set_SoundVolume

Good, you adapted fastly.
You can infer the indices from the vtable offsets or the ordinal positions.

Quote:

I think it is:

Code:
DllCall(VTable(piT, 35), "Uint", piT, "UintP", Volume)

Sean, you made my day. Big thanks!

For interested people here some important values:

Code:
DllCall( VTable( piT, 11 ), "Uint", piT ) ; Play
DllCall( VTable( piT, 14 ), "Uint", piT ) ; PreviousTrack
DllCall( VTable( piT, 9  ), "Uint", piT ) ; NextTrack
DllCall( VTable( piT, 13 ), "Uint", piT ) ; PlayPause
DllCall( VTable( piT, 16 ), "Uint", piT ) ; Rewind
DllCall( VTable( piT, 8  ), "Uint", piT ) ; FastForward

; Volume Up
DllCall( VTable( piT, 35 ), "Uint", piT, "UintP", PlayerVol ) ; get_SoundVolume
PlayerVol := PlayerVol + VolAddSub
DllCall( VTable( piT, 36 ), "Uint", piT, "Uint", PlayerVol )  ; set_SoundVolume

; Volume Down
DllCall( VTable( piT, 35 ), "Uint", piT, "UintP", PlayerVol ) ; get_SoundVolume
PlayerVol := PlayerVol - VolAddSub
DllCall( VTable( piT, 36 ), "Uint", piT, "Uint", PlayerVol )  ; set_SoundVolume

You're welcome and I'm glad.
BTW, I don't know if iTunes registers itself to ROT or not, but I think it's worth trying.
If you need to connect to the already running iTunes you may try the following, instead of CreateObject():

Code:
piT := GetActiveObject("iTunes.Application")

Hi Sean,

iTunes seems not to register itself. Your suggestion does not work.

Ah, that's too bad. I thought it might be an essential feature...
Maybe, there could be some option to force a single instance of iTunes.
What happens if you run CreateObject() while iTune is already running?
Is another instance of iTunes opened, or, is it connected to the already running one?

It is connected to the already running iTunes. I didn't know that creating an object will launch iTunes as I check if iTunes is running with AHK commands.

In the COM SDK of iTunes they always have examples where the object is created before using.

That's interesting. Thanks for informing me.

What is the proper way to pass a Unicode string ByVal to COM?

The iTunes Create Folder method expects a Unicode string as input instead of a pointer to the string. Though it looks right to me, this code does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Code:
#NoEnv
#Include CoHelper.ahk
CoInitialize()
CLSID_iTunesApp := "{DC0C2640-1415-4644-875C-6F4D769839BA}"
 IID_IiTunes    := "{9DD6680B-3EDC-40DB-A771-E6FE4832E34A}"
piT := CreateObject(CLSID_iTunesApp, IID_IiTunes)

sFldr := "MyNewFldr"
Ansi2Unicode(sFldr, wFldr)
DllCall(VTable(piT, 84), "str", wFldr, "UintP", pPlist)  ; Create Folder

Release(piT)
CoUninitialize()
