 Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:16 pm Post subject: WMP Controls in MiniMode |
 |
|
Hello,
I have WMP 11 on Win XP SP2. I am trying to just get the pause and play features to work when WMP is in MiniMode. I have seen numerous posts about this but I have not gotten any of them to work. I know it can be done because I have seen some other hotkey tools accomplish this as well.
When trying some of the posted examples I have usually just pasted this into my autohotkey.ahk default file (though separate files have not worked for me either). This has been driving me nuts as I know this has to be possible but I can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks for any help! |

!a::Send {Media_Next}
!s::Send {Media_Prev}
!d::Send {Media_Stop}
!f::Send {Media_Play_Pause}

This only sort of works when WMP is not minimized (opens a right menu type dialog box but does pause and restart). However the commands do nothing when WMP is in mini mode
Thanks! |

"PostMessage / SendMessage" command can make it 
| Code: | ;WinKey+Down to "Play/Pause"
#Down:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18808, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp
;WinKey+Up to "Stop"
#Up:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18809, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp
;WinKey+Left to "Previous Song"
#Left:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18810, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp
;WinKey+Right to "Next Song"
#Right:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18811, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp |

I had settled on the following which works quite well:
#PgDn::Send {Media_Next}
#PgUp::Send {Media_Prev}
`::Send {Media_Play_Pause}
Interestingly, while the above work, the volume controls I tried below do not:
#up::Send {Media_Volume_Up}
#down::Send {Media_Volume_Down}
But that's relatively minor in the scheme of things.

;WinKey+PgDn to "Volume Down"
#PgDn:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18816, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp
;WinKey+End to "Mute/Unmute"
#End:: SendMessage, 0x111, 18817, , , ahk_class WMPlayerApp |
Main features of "PostMessage / SendMessage" is can send command in background, which mean works with minimode too, even u winhide the window media player, it still work as charm~ |

I tested these for fun and none of them work for me when WMP is in Mini Mode. They work fine when it is maximized or minimized. The commands I listed work in all situations I have tried so far--except the volume controls.

Media_Volume_Up and Media_Volume_Down usually control Windows' master volume, not Windows Media Player.

Is there a particular place to put the "DetectHiddenWindows, On". I tried just placing it in my default autohotkey.ahk above the WMP commands but it did not have any effect. The controls still will not work in mini-mode. Perhaps I'm using it wrong somehow?
Thanks for all your help on this!

Place it on script starting initial part as where
| Code: | #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
DetectHiddenWindows, On ;here |

Oops, sorry for my mistake. thanks for remind, Lexikos
I'd experienced that the "lParam" for "PostMessage / SendMessage" commands may various from every PC.
In that case u'll need to capture the "lParam" from "Winspector" software.
I'd tried mine, functional at toolbar mode too, but not at skin mode |

Tested again with these additions put at the top of the script (mine did not have any of them) and now it works with the new commands--including volume!
Thanks a bunch!
