Thanks for the update!  Just one correction (so far ;D):

In the Out-of-proc initialization (VB) example, you need an "On Error" statement, e.g.,


Private Sub Form_Load()

' First try to get an already running object
On Error Resume Next
Set myobj = GetObject(, "MediaJukebox Application")

If Err.Number = 429 Then
    'Then, create a new object
    Set myobj = CreateObject("MediaJukebox Application")

End Sub


Thanks for the update!

Yes we talked about this before the VB6 sample has a problem, if you don't put a on error resume the project will stop running.

Does the GetObject ever return successfully for
any one at the moment?

I don't have VB6 installed at present,
but I can't get this to work under any other language.

This is working for me using VB .NET 2003.

Intriguing,
Cheers I'll take another look.

I see you've added a function string MJPlaylistAutomation::Get(string bstrProperty).  No properties are listed, and I'm not really sure what these are.  Can you give us an example of a property name?  Thanks.

Hi Zoner,

Property names are up to you, for whatever you want to associate with a playlist. We recommend using names like "Zoner: MyProperty" to avoid accidental conflict with other properties.

Ah, ok.  So by default, a playlist has no properties, unless some other SDK user has added some?

And system properties, which are not available for general consumption...
