CListCrtl playing MP3s

Hi there!
For my grade 12 summative project, I decided that I wanted to make an mp3/wma player. At the moment, I have the basics(play, stop with a browse function).
I would like to list all of my mp3s and wmas from a fixed folder in the list control, and by clicking a song and then play, would play the song selected.

I tried to use insert item:

Code:

---

m_Songs.InsertItem(0,"H:\\My Documents\\Music\\*.mp3");

---

but it just inserted a string. I have only had minimal class time using MFC functions and codes, but I would really like to be able to do this.

Also, is there any way to reposition this:

Code:

---

        m_Timer = NULL;

        if(m_Timer == NULL)
        {
                m_Timer = MCIWndCreate(this->GetSafeHwnd(),
                  AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
                  WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER|WS_VISIBLE|MCIWNDF_NOMENU|MCIWNDF_SHOWNAME,m_Path);

        }
        else
        {
                MCIWndHome(m_Timer);
        }
       
        MCIWndPlay(m_Timer);
        m_Play.EnableWindow(FALSE);

---

I want to make it near the bottom of the screen, but it always shows up at the top.

I dont neccicarily need code written, but if someone can explain to me what I would need to do or even functions to try, that would be wonderful.

Have a look at CListCtrl::SetItemText

The return value of MCIWndCreate is HWND (window handle)
You can use ::MoveWindow or ::SetWondowPos APIs to change this player window position: just pass the returned handle (m_Timer) as window handle and other necessary parameters (see MSDN for details).

Because that is what you asked it to do ;). You can use the CFileFind class to find files from a pattern (*.mp3 for example). After that you can insert the found files one by one in the listcontrol.

Okay, Ive been trying to use ::MoveWindow and ::SetWindowPos, but nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but m_Timer doesn't react to pointers, ::'s or .'s.
So then I tried this:

Code:

---

        m_Timer = NULL;

        if(m_Timer == NULL)
        {
                m_Timer = MCIWndCreate(this->MoveWindow(225,325,100,50,TRUE),
                  AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
                WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER|WS_VISIBLE|MCIWNDF_NOMENU|MCIWNDF_SHOWNAME,m_Path);
               
        }
        else
        {
                MCIWndHome(m_Timer);
        }


        MCIWndPlay(m_Timer);
        m_Play.EnableWindow(false);

---

but I get an error:

Code:

---

H:\ICS4U\Summative\Mp3 Magic\Mp3 MagicDlg.cpp(222) : error C2664: 'MCIWndCreateA' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void' to 'struct HWND__ *'

---

Here is most of my code at the moment:

Code:

---

void CMp3MagicDlg::OnPlay()
{

       

        // This causes the timer/slider to appear and begin to play the selected file
       

       
       
        m_Timer = NULL;

        if(m_Timer == NULL)
        {
                m_Timer = MCIWndCreate(this->MoveWindow(225,325,100,50,TRUE),
                  AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
                WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER|WS_VISIBLE|MCIWNDF_NOMENU|MCIWNDF_SHOWNAME,m_Path);
               
        }
        else
        {
                MCIWndHome(m_Timer);
        }


        MCIWndPlay(m_Timer);
        m_Play.EnableWindow(false);

       
       

       
       
       
}

void CMp3MagicDlg::OnBrowse()
{
        //Here I am going to direct the user
                m_Timer = NULL;
        if(m_Timer == NULL)
        {
                CFileDialog mp3(TRUE,NULL,NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY,"MP3 Files (*.mp3)|*.mp3|(*.WMA)|*wma|");
                if(mp3.DoModal() == IDOK)
                {
                        m_Path = mp3.GetPathName();
                        UpdateData(FALSE);
                       
                }
        }
       
}

void CMp3MagicDlg::OnStop()
{
        // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
        MCIWndStop(m_Timer);
        if(m_Timer !=NULL)
        {
                MCIWndDestroy(m_Timer);
       
        }
        m_Play.EnableWindow(TRUE);
       
       
}

I've even gone through MSDN, but I can't figure out whats going wrong.
Am I missing something? Or is there another way I can go about moving the player?
