at home i have the "postmessage" comands for play pause stop an few others to control winamp, i rate this as the best way to control it, better than sending hotkeys as it will work on any version of winamp weather global hotkeys are turmed on or off.

how can i find out the rest? volume up/down, be good if i could ask it what the volume is set to? or set the volume to a sertain %age?

anyone ever done this sort of thing?

cheers Ralph.

Dear Ralph,

Anyone ever done this sort of thing?

Yes!......jballi

See his topic: Winamp function/shell

Here is his code: https://ahknet.autoh...v1.0/Winamp.ahk ( SKAN's Dropbox )

There's a large list of postmessage codes for winamp that Rajat posted half way down this page:

Also searching for "winamp postmessage" reveals a lot of threads. It appears not to be possible to retrieve the actual volume level though.

It appears not to be possible to retrieve the actual volume level though.

Actually, Winamp's SetVolume user message (122) is used to collect the current volume if -666 is sent as the wParm parameter.

SendMessage 0x400,-666,122,,ahk_class Winamp v1.x
msgbox The current Winamp volume is %Errorlevel% (From 0 to 255)

If using the Winamp function:

CurrentVol:=Winamp("Set Volume",-666)
msgbox The current Winamp volume is %CurrentVol% (From 0 to 255)

I'm working on on a version of the Winamp function that includes a number of aliases for the more common command combinations (like this one) so that the function will be even more user friendly. I'll get around to publishing it sometime...

I hope this helps.

Ah, I must have seen an outdated discussion thread, thanks for posting the code.
