I'm confused. Can't you just call GetCurentMilisecond() every n units of time?

Well i'll try that and reply tomorrow,its late now and im going to explode from trying to do this...but question
public bool IsPlaying()
{
Pcommand = "status MediaFile mode";
error = mciSendString(Pcommand, returnData, 128, IntPtr.Zero);
if (returnData.Length == 7 &&
returnData.ToString().Substring(0, 7) == "playing")
return true;
else
return false;
}

why 7?
