mci

Syntax

    mci "string"

Description

Command; for Windows only, passes the strings specified by `string` to the Windows Media Control Interface (MCI) for control of multimedia extensions.

Note: Microsoft no longer recommends using the 16-bit MCI interface. Consider using third-party Xtras for this functionality instead.

Example

This statement makes the command `play cdaudio from 200 to 600 track 7` play only when the movie plays back in Windows:

    mci "play cdaudio from 200 to 600 track 7"
