Copy Code

/* Get a multimedia file's duration using a filename */
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  /* Number of errors on stack */
HIGMULT hMult;          /* Multimedia instance handle */
LPCSTR szFile;          /* Name of file to open */
AT_UINT numFrames;      /* Total number of frames in file */
AT_UINT duration;       /* Duration of file in milliseconds */
nErrcount = IG_mult_open_file(szFile, &hMult);
nErrcount = IG_mult_duration_get(hMult, &numFrames, &duration);
nErrcount = IG_mult_close(hMult);
