    IG_mult_current_frame_seek_time
    In This Topic

    This function seeks to the given absolute time in milliseconds since the beginning of the multimedia instance.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_mult_current_frame_seek_time(
            HIGMULT hMult, 
            AT_UINT msTime
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hMult HIGMULT Multimedia instance handle.
    msTime AT_UINT Time to seek to in milliseconds.

    Return Value:

    Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    This function does not process image pixels.

    Sample:

    Media Player

    Example:

     
    Copy Code
    /* Grab frames at two second intervals */
    AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  /* Number of errors on stack */
    HIGMULT hMult;          /* Multimedia instance handle */
    AT_BOOL bValid;         /* Is the current frame valid? */
    AT_UINT msTime = 0;     /* Timestamp used for seeking */
    HIGEAR hIGear;          /* HIGEAR handle of image */
    IG_mult_current_frame_reset(hMult);
    while (IG_mult_current_frame_is_valid(hMult, &bValid) == IGE_SUCCESS && bValid)
    {
            nErrcount = IG_mult_current_frame_image_get(hMult, &hIGear);
            msTime += 2000;
            nErrcount = IG_mult_current_frame_seek_time(hMult, msTime);
    }
    

    Remarks:

    This function locates the frame that would be visible at this time under normal speed playback conditions and makes this the current frame. Seeking to a time of 0 will seek to the beginning, 1000 will seek to one second after the beginning, and so on.
