Recently, with the help of The CodeProject and Spy++, I've been able to create a PowerPro commandlist that can send play/pause, next, last, and stop commands to Windows Media Player even when it is remoted or minimized to the toolbar. During the course of my tracing WMP with Spy++, I was unable to find any messages I could use to make PowerPro retrieve the artist, title and album metadata for the currently playing track (MP3 or WMA). Does anyone know whether this is possible (the help documentation for PowerPro indicates that such a thing could be done with Winamp), and if so, how I could go about it? I've never tried to use the return value from SendMessage, so I'm looking for a fairly detailed explanation. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I know programs like Samurize can retrieve the current track info, but I'm already running PowerPro, so the marginal process time and memory usage increase of using PowerPro would be less than adding another background program.
