File Properties

[B3guy]

How do I get/set the properties of a file (such as Author, Artist, etc)?

You've already asked this question here.

I am look for a solution in a different way.  I am running version 8.2 of LabVIEW, and I got an error when I tried to run the method that you mentioned.  The error was "Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable".

I want to know if there is another way to manipulate the properties without using a specific ActiveX method.

In the future please stick to the original thread. As it is, your new message provides little information, and the first question someone would ask is "what are those properties", since it's not clear you're even referring to music files. Plus, you will prevent simply getting the same answers.

Did you create a Windows Media Player object? If you upload your code somebody can take a look at it.

Is there a non-ActiveX solution? Of course. Search the net and you'll find dozens of programs that can change that information. You may be able to find on that can be command-line driven so you can call it from LabVIEW using System Exec. I'll leave the search as an exercise for you.

I am trying it with "Windows Media Player SDK" who contains "wmp.h" header.
But the assistant "Import Shared Library" do not show me any functions.

I belive wmp.dll is a .net assembly, so you'll need dont need to import anything, just create the correct .net object and use invoke/property nodes.

I don´t understand you.

I can´t create a .Net constructor

I can´t create the .Net control

[Yamaeda]

Try this.
