Controlling volume

[dlynn]

General question concerning the volume.

I see there is a way to increment/decrement the volume, however my question is how to determine the current volume level.

You can inc/dec by a percentage; however I don't see a way to determine what the volume level is currently at.

Is this possible?

Many thanks!

get the 5.34 sdk and see the additional notes on ipc_setvolume. it's a fixed scale of 0-255 that the volume goes, not a percentage to clarify things.

Thanks for your reply.

I am familiar with using the ipc_setvolume; however what I am looking for is a way to determine what the volume level currently is.

Is this possible?

I see a way to set it, I guess what I am asking is how to get it.

There seems to be setters/getters for most everything else; however I do not see a way to get the volume.

Thanks!

it's in the notes on using IPC_SETVOLUME in the version of the sdk referenced to pass -666 as the param to get the current volume. additionally as from the 5.35 sdk (not publically released due to other issues) there's the following added into wa_ipc.h ...
#define IPC_GETVOLUME(hwnd_winamp) \
SendMessage(hwnd_winamp,WM_WA_IPC,-666,IPC_SETVOLUME)-daz

Thanks for your help!

do you have a link to the 5.34 sdk?

Open mouth, insert foot...sorry, missed the sticky.

[dlynn]

Yes, I do. I'm all set. Thanks.

Question ...

I don't see a Command to call mute... Is this possible?

I'd like to be able to mute on/off. I could get the volume and return to it, but wondering if there's a direct command to call mute.

Thanks!

you'll have to manually drop/restore the volume yourself (is how the mute functions in some of the modern skins works)
