IWMPNetwork::setProxyPort method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The setProxyPort method specifies the proxy port to use.

Syntax

public void setProxyPort(
  System.String bstrProtocol,
  System.Int32 lProxyPort
);

Public Sub setProxyPort( _
  ByVal bstrProtocol As System.String, _
  ByVal lProxyPort As System.Int32 _
)
Implements IWMPNetwork.setProxyPort

Parameters

bstrProtocol [in]

A System.String that is the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

lProxyPort [in]

A System.Int32 that is the proxy port to use.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

This method has no effect unless the value retrieved from IWMPNetwork.getProxySettings is 2 (use manual settings).

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.

Examples

The following code example uses setProxyPort to specify the Windows Media Player proxy port number for the MMS protocol. The port number is retrieved from a text box when a button is clicked. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.

private void setProxyPort_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Test whether proxy settings are manual.
    if (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") == 2)
    {
        // Store the user's new proxy port number.
        int portnumber = System.Convert.ToInt32(portText.Text);

        // Set the proxy port.
        player.network.setProxyPort("MMS", portnumber);
    }
    else
    {
        // Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!");
    }
}

Public Sub setProxyPort_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles setProxyPort.Click

    ' Test whether proxy settings are manual.
    If (player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") = 2) Then

        ' Store the user's new proxy port number.
        Dim portnumber As Integer = System.Convert.ToInt32(portText.Text)

        ' Set the proxy port.
        player.network.setProxyPort("MMS", portnumber)

    Else

        ' Warn that the proxy settings must be set to 2 (manual).
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Proxy settings must be manual!")

    End If

End Sub
