yes I have searched google for this...

I have winamp already in my bot however I do not know how to set commands such as play, stop, pause, and play "*" if there is already a post on this please redirect me to it, I have searched and found nothing.

btw i know im nub :-[

[code]Public Function command(text As String)
Dim commandStr() As String
commandStr = Split(text, " ", 2)
Select Case (LCase(commandStr(0)))
Case "play"
'SendMessage to winamp
Case "next"
'SendMessage to winamp
Case "back"
'SendMessage to winamp
Case "stop"
'SendMessage to winamp
Case "pause"
'SendMessage to winamp
Case Else
End Select
End Function
[/code]
Im not sure what your asking but that might help.
Also try http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=b1c3a85d9b35e1d1fa7c64d4579b8ce7&threadid=180297
or

what you gave me is good the
"Send to winamp"
however im a newb at VB, and .. I dont know what to replace the "send to winamp" with :-\

Look at those two links and you should be able to figure it out. Ill give you a hint you use SendMessage().

Use SendMessage().

I know it's big, but I thought it was hard to find this exact document on Winamp's website, and I also don't have anywhere to upload the file to, so I'll post the important parts.

And yes, I do know it's not in VB - boo hoo, it's an API call.

Edit: You'll have to go find out what WM_COMMAND and WM_USER is equal to with Google.

Edit: I don't remember how you get the handle to Winamp's window, but I believe it's something like:
[code]winamp_hwnd = FindWindow("Winamp 1.x", vbNullString)[/code]

Since you DID find the it on winamp's website, you could have just linked to the document.

I dont me too sound rude but he did say he couldnt find exact document.

[/quote]

No, he said he had trouble finding it.

The information is no longer on their webpage in such a way that you can just go there and read it. You must first download their SDK and search through the files included in the .zip untill you find the document.

[code]#define IPC_STARTPLAY 102 // starts playback. almost like hitting play in Winamp.[/code]

it never tells me what to add in (SendMessage)

Also tell me if im doing this right so far

[code]Public Function command(text As String)
Dim commandStr() As String
commandStr = Split(text, " ", 2)
Select Case (LCase(commandStr(0)))
Case "volume"
SendMessage(hwnd_winamp,WM_WA_IPC,volume,IPC_SETVOLUME)
Case Else
End Select
End Function[/code]

sorry to keep asking however~~ to play a certain song say.. !play 1, this is the code i was given above.

[code]#define IPC_ENQUEUEFILE 100
/* sent as a WM_COPYDATA, with IPC_PLAYFILE as the dwData, and the string to play
** as the lpData. Just enqueues, does not clear the playlist or change the playback

#define WINAMP_FILE_PLAY 40029 // pops up the load file(s) box


// I came out with//

SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COPYDATA,IPC_PLAYFILE,40029);
[/code]

the only reason i feel that is not right is because "pops up the load file(s) box

IPC_PLAYFILE is what you want.

I dont understand what you mean. How is it what I "want" I see playfile in my code, does that mean its right or wrong.


ALSO! another thing =|

[code]Public Function command(text As String)
Dim commandstr() As String
commandstr = Split(text, " ", 2)
Select Case (LCase(commandstr(0)))
Case "vol"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_WA_IPC, Volume, IPC_SETVOLUME)
Case "volume"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_WA_IPC, Volume, IPC_SETVOLUME)
Case "next"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON5, 0)
Case "play"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON2, 0)
Case "stop"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON4, 0)
Case "pause"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON3, 0)
Case "back"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON1, 0)
Case Else
End Select
End Function[/code]

This is what I came out with when finally trying out everything together. For some reason when I try to complile it says "Ambiguous name detected: command" it highlights [code] Public Function command(text As String)[/code] note: for some reason it doesn't highlight the outer ) for "(text As String)" I dont know why it is doing this =X

since your using a function you need to declare it, as which data type that fits your needs, of course the way it looks you might just want to do

[code]
Public sub command(byval text As String)
'winamp code here
End Sub
[/code]

[code]Public Sub command(ByVal text As String)
Dim commandstr() As String
commandstr = Split(text, " ", 2)
Select Case (LCase(commandstr(0)))
Case "vol"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_WA_IPC, Volume, IPC_SETVOLUME)
Case "volume"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_WA_IPC, Volume, IPC_SETVOLUME)
Case "next"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON5, 0)
Case "play"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON2, 0)
Case "stop"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON4, 0)
Case "pause"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON3, 0)
Case "back"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON1, 0)
Case Else
End Select
End Sub[/code]

this is my code now, it continues to tell me "Ambiguous name detected: command"

[code]Public Sub command(ByVal text As String)[/code]

btw does anyone know if im donig this right? for example

[code]Case "next"
ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON5, 0)[/code]

i should be using ret = " " " " etc.. right??

You might want to Change Command to WinAmpCommand

the bot seemed to compile soon, however when i tested on bnet didn't actually play the songs or change what could possibly be wrong?

On the SendMessages Call's insted of doing

[code]ret = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON2, 0)
[/code]

try:

[code]Call SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON2, 0)

commandstr = Split(text, " ")
Select Case (LCase(commandstr(0)))
Case "vol", "volume"
If UBound(commandstr) > 0 Then
If IsNumeric(commandstr(1)) = True Then
SendMessage hwnd_winamp, WM_WA_IPC, commandstr(1), IPC_SETVOLUME
End If
End If
Case "next"
SendMessage hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON5, 0
Send "Winamp: Skipped forwards."
Case "play"
SendMessage hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON2, 0

Case "stop"
SendMessage hwnd_winamp, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_BUTTON4, 0

[/quote]

You get the messages displayed, so you know the code executes? Set a breakpoint and verify that hwnd_winamp is ok. Also check for errors from sendmessage (return value + lastdllerror or something like that in VB).

Post your current definition of SendMessage too, maybe something's wrong with that.

When I try to use .play on the bot, along with all of the other commands, it never sends text to battlenet. (my key is not muted I have checked) winamp never starts playing. My friend told me to do that checkpoint thing, i know how to set them just how do I check?


what do you mean by definition of sendmessage? i thought everything was in the code i gave =\

There should be a Declare Function SendMessage somewhere at the top of your program.

If you don't see the 'Send "Winamp: Play started." ', then the problem could quite probably be outside this code.

Set a breakpoint by moving the cursor to the line you want it on and hitting F9.


Start by setting a breakpoint on 'commandstr = Split(text, " ")'. Run the program, do .play, see if the breakpoint triggers. If it does, hit F8 to execute one line at a time and see where it goes.

If it goes out of the sub instead of down to the 'Case "play" ', hit F5 and do .play again. This time, point your mouse at 'text' and see what's in there. If that looks ok, execute a few lines down and check commandstr(0).

I dont see it at the top of my source on that page, possibly located somewhere else? i'll do the checkpoint thing now ;]

I checked the 'checkpoint' and it never trigger when i accessed the command.

i Just finished adding some winamp commands to my bot(loadwinamp, play, stop, next, back, mp3)
if you want i can go dig it up for you(if you havent already figered it out that is)
PM me if you want it

The whole reason we're all doing all this is because we want him to actually do it on his own. Don't just hand people code. He's doing fine, let him figure it out.

Don't worry about it until the breakpoints trigger. Find out where you're calling your WinAmpcommand function from and set some breakpoints around there, or post the code for that function.

the breakpoitnts dont seem to be working..
i have set one on the following

[code]Public Sub WinAmpcommand(ByVal text As String)
commandstr = Split(text, " ")
Select Case (LCase(commandstr(0)))[/code]

wouldn't allow me to place one on [code] Dim commandstr() As String[/code]

That's because it's a declaration.

Alllll Righty then! :'(

Did you read my documenation on using SendCommand()?

Erm I meant if I should keep my old commands or redo them, the old ones seem fine ey?

I guess, just use

[code]
Select Case WinampCommandUserWants
Case Pause
clsWinamp.SendCommand(WA_PAUSETRACK, &H0)
Case Play
'Play Code
Case Etc
'blah
End Select
[/code]

when I paste this in the first thing i see is [code] clsWinamp.SendCommand(WA_PAUSETRACK, &H0)[/code] in red.

Remove the parenthesis or add Call to the front of it.

thanks for everyones help adding winamp.

Sorry to touch back up on this so long after this was already discussed however I did add that to commands.

However whenever I do .mp3 it does say the track, however it also disconnects from battle.net and ipbans itself. Woot... It never says it in bnet, but on the bot screen it says it

[9:47:08 AM] <gLock> Mp3: 2. - - Winamp[9:47:08 AM] Error: Battle.net Disconnected
[9:47:08 AM] BNET: Connecting...
[9:47:08 AM] BNET: 10054 -- Connection is aborted due to timeout or other failure

What did I do wrong?

Looks like you're possibly sending some character Bnet doesn't like, since the line break is screwed up. Maybe you're sending a null in that message?

any clue where is it =D?

Paste your "Send" sub.

heres probably the best way to set out the code..
this doesn't have set volume and stuff but you can add it in using info from the other 3 pages in this topic :P

sorry if im totally wrong, im noobsauce =[[code][/code]

It looks like you would use the Execute function.

example please

The function is right there. You really should be able to figure it out, it only has one param.

WA_PLAY

know how many bots have the feature of doing: !play acdc

can anyone give me the code to play a song where the song is a variable that the user can set?
