StringCollection.getAttributeCountByType method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The getAttributeCountByType method retrieves the number of attributes associated with the specified StringCollection item index, attribute name, and language.

Syntax

retVal = StringCollection.getAttributeCountByType(
  index,
  name,
  language
)

Parameters

index [in]

Number (long) specifying the zero-based index of the StringCollection item from which to get the attribute.

name [in]

String containing the name of the attribute.

language [in]

String containing the language. If the value is set to null or the empty string (""), the current locale string is used. Otherwise, the value must be a valid RFC 1766 language string such as "en-us".

Return value

Remarks

This method is used to determine the number of attributes corresponding to a particular attribute name for a particular StringCollection item. Index numbers can then be passed to the fourth parameter of the StringCollection.getItemInfoByType method.

To use this method, read access to the library is required. For more information, see Library Access.
