Player6.AutoRewind

This property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether the Windows Media Player control automatically returns to the clip's starting point after the clip finishes playing or has otherwise stopped.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.AutoRewind

Possible Values

This property is a read/write Boolean containing one of the following values.

Value Description
true Default. The clip rewinds automatically.
false The clip does not rewind automatically.

Remarks

To retain the current position within the clip, set this property to false, or use the Pause method.

The state of the image display window after automatic rewinding is determined by other Windows Media Player control properties. The default behavior is to display the background color of the control. If the TransparentAtStart property is true, the control becomes transparent after the file finishes playing. If the AnimationAtStart property is true and TransparentAtStart is false, the clip image is shown.

If the PlayCount property is greater than 1, the current position returns to zero only after the file is played PlayCount times. Between plays, the last image of the file is shown while play is restarting.
