NAME

mciSendString - mciSendString [MMSYSTEM.702]

SYNOPSIS

DWORD mciSendString
(

LPCSTR lpstrCommand,

LPSTR lpstrReturnString,

UINT16 uReturnLength,

HWND16 hwndCallback
);

DESCRIPTION

The usercode sends a string with a command (and flags) expressed in words in it... We do our best to call aprobiate drivers, and return a errorcode AND a readable string (if lpstrRS!=NULL) Info gathered by watching cool134.exe and from Borland's mcistrwh.hlp.

FIXME

"All" is a valid devicetype and we should access all devices if it is used. (Imagine "close all"). Not implemented yet.
