Remarks

Developers should keep in mind that openState and playState return integers, without descriptive information about the state.

Because the mediaBar behavior is an implementation of the Microsoft Windows Media® Player, some Media Bar members are essentially the same as those used by the Windows Media Player 7 and Windows Media Player 8, notably the onopenstatechange and onplaystatechange events and the openState, playState, and enabled properties. The Media Bar?B>openState and playState properties, in fact, are passed to the behavior from corresponding Windows Media Player properties for Windows Media Player 7 and Windows Media Player 8. Later versions of the Windows Media Player might provide a richer set of values for openState and playState. For more information about the Windows Media Player object model, see the Player object reference and the Windows Media Player 7.1 SDK.

For an example of scripting with the openState and playState properties, see the onopenstatechange and onplaystatechange events.
