Does anyone know how to get the position of the scroll bar that controls where in the song you are?

i have been looking and looking though all of Postmessage scripts and i can't seem to figure out how it works.

i think that i need to use
0x00E1 const long SBM_GETPOS //gets the pos of scrollbox in scrollbar
0x00E3 const long SBM_GETRANGE //gets range of scrollbar

i looked on msdn.microsoft.com and it says the getpos wParam and lParam should be 0 and for the getrange the wParam and lParam are (WPARAM) (LPINT) lpnMinPos and (LPARAM) (LPINT) lpnMaxPos.

where lpnMinPos is aLong pointer to a value that receives the minimum scrolling position and lpnMaxPos is a Long pointer to a value that receives the maximum scrolling position.

thanks for the help

The following code will accomplish what you ask:



For further information, refer to the Winamp SDK. In particular, review the header file "winamp\wa_ipc.h" and "gen_tray\WINAMPCMD.h" for further information identifying control and status retrieval from external processes.

Thank you very much, it works like a charm and it was very easy to convert the millseconds to seconds and remove the floating.

thanks again.

how to make for songname? same example like post above?
(just started AHK, and read manual but helping here will make me progress )

#define IPC_GETMODULENAME 109
#define IPC_EX_ISRIGHTEXE 666
/* usually shouldnt bother using these, but here goes:
** send a WM_COPYDATA with IPC_GETMODULENAME, and an internal
** flag gets set, which if you send a normal WM_WA_IPC message with
** IPC_EX_ISRIGHTEXE, it returns whether or not that filename
** matches. lame, I know.
