Example Code
The following example uses getAttributeStringCollection to display a list of values that correspond to a particular attribute for audio items in the media collection. A list box allows the user to select an attribute, such as Artist, Genre, or Album and a multi-line text box displays the result. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.
Public Sub audioAttributes_OnSelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles audioAttributes.SelectedIndexChanged ' Retrieve the attribute type from the ListBox Dim lb As System.Windows.Forms.ListBox = sender Dim attributeType As String = lb.SelectedItem ' Get an interface to the mediaCollection. Dim library As WMPLib.IWMPMediaCollection2 = player.mediaCollection ' Get an interface to the string collection for the attribute type the user selects. Dim all As WMPLib.IWMPStringCollection2 = library.getAttributeStringCollection(attributeType, "Audio") ' Clear the text box of previous results. attributeValues.Clear() ' Create an array to hold the attribute values. Dim attributeArray(all.count) As String ' Loop through the string collection. For i As Integer = 0 To (all.count - 1) ' Store the items in the array. attributeArray(i) = all.Item(i) Next i ' Display the items in the text box. attributeValues.Lines = attributeArray End Sub
