Hi,

Is there a way to get the playstate of Realplayer running locally
on a pc W98-XP-Vista?

I need to insure it is "paused", not playing, or stopped.

It is easy enough to toggle the play/pause, but I need to
make sure it is in the paused state, for both regular and
full screen theatre modes.

Thanks

Best way would be to SendMessage, I think? See the help file under 'messages' for how to find which message code the player uses for Pause. Then just send it that code.

Thanks for you response. However I think that sending a pause
message whether by sendmessage or sendPlay, or controlsend,
would only "TOGGLE" the pause/play state. I wanted to be able to
detect the state for certain. I imagine there would be several
states like loading, playing, paused, stopped, seeking etc.
Trying certain things when the player is in certain states can
often crash Realplayer.

Thanks
