Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Private Const WM_USER = &H400
Private Const IPC_GETLISTPOS = 125
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim hwndWinamp As Long
Dim res
hwndWinamp = FindWindow("Winamp v1.x", vbNullString)
res = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp, WM_USER, 0, IPC_GETLISTPOS)
MsgBox res
End Sub

what sort of info are you trying to retrieve? the item currently playing? the playlist count?

Well i guess IPC_GETLISTPOS means i wana get the number of song playing
the problem it doesnt work :'(
i tryed to get the duration of the song - the same problem.

i see, i guess i thought that "IPC_GETLISTPOS" meant you were trying to get the "position" or current song that was playing. sry though, not exactly sure what the problem is.

The problem is that it allways returns 1 , on whatever i wana get...

Do you get the handle in the first place? Maybe your problem is that you're searching for a window called "Winamp v1.x"?

No, it has the correct handle.
