About the Settings Object

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 Settings object governs the settings of the control such as volume, play count, mute, and so on. It is accessed only through the Settings property of the Player object. The Settings property returns the Settings object. You can only access the properties of the Settings object after you have created it. For example, to get the value of the Volume property, you must use the following code:

myvolume = player.settings.volume;
