Number of Command Strings Listed: 5 (5 added)
MCI command strings are issued to MCI devices by using the mciSendString function. Command strings instruct a Media Control Interface (MCI) device to perform a specific action, such as opening a file, playing a CD, or stopping playback of a video. The MCI, through its command strings, provides a relatively simple way to control multimedia devices configured on the system.
Below is a list of the MCI command strings that currently have information about them in the Windows API Guide. Please keep in mind that this site does not encompass the entire API yet, so unfortunately may not find what you are looking for. To suggest any additions you would like to see made, please contact the author with your request. All pages added since the last update of this site are clearly marked with NEW.
