Running multiple instances?

hjhardly · 19th January 2002, 03:59

I have been developing an application which uses WinAmp V2.77 as
its MP3 output device. I want to be able to run up to 3 instances
of WinAmp at the same time and control each. I have been using
Alex Muzika's Delphi VCL (modified) to provide the interface.
No problems launching multiple instances, each playing its own
MP3, but when I try to pause/stop/read position, etc of ANY
instance it always refers to the last instance.

I launch with a different /CLASS for each, so that is not the
problem. I've not yet checked to see if the same handle is coming
back yet.

Any ideas or is true multiple instances impossible?

TIA
