Can't Stop Windows Media Player with SendMessage

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I am trying to stop a song in windows media player on the pocket pc and then
kill the application. So far I can kill the program with the following code
in C# but i have not figured out the stop method.
I was able to find the stop command for the PC with SPY++ but that doesnt
seem to apply to the Pocket PC. Any help would be great.
Thanks

[DllImport("CoreDll")]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(char[] className, char[] windowName);

[DllImport("CoreDll")]
public static extern IntPtr PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, int wParam,
int lParam);

IntPtr Hwnd=FindWindow(null, "Windows Media".ToCharArray());

//wm_user = 0x400;

//wmp_stop = 31756;

int x = 0x0400 + 31756;

PostMessage(Hwnd,0x0110/*WM_COMMAND*/,x,0);

PostMessage(Hwnd,0x0010/*WM_CLOSE*/,0,0);

Dan,

I think Chris answered your question on the MVP Chat, but if it wasn't your
question, there is a version of Spy++ for the PPC that comes with eVC++.
