TMediaPlayer.Close Method

Closes the open multimedia device.

Pascal

procedure Close;

C++

__fastcall Close();

Description

Upon completion, Close stores a numerical error code in the Error property, and the corresponding error message in the ErrorMessage property.

The Wait property determines whether control is returned to the application before the Close method is completed. The Notify property determines whether Close generates an OnNotify event.

Close is called automatically when the application is terminated.

correctly, and the device must have software-ejecting 
capabilities.
