Re: Controlling WinAMP (WM_COPYDATA problem)

Hi, i changed the code to this:
----------------------------------
from win32gui import FindWindow
from win32api import SendMessage
import struct
import array

hWnd = FindWindow('Winamp v1.x', None)

def packData( dwData, item ):
global cds, lpData
lpData = array.array('c', item)
lpData_ad = lpData.buffer_info()[0]
cbData = lpData.buffer_info()[1]
cds = array.array('c', struct.pack("IIP", dwData, cbData,
lpData_ad) )
cds_ad = cds.buffer_info()[0]
return cds_ad

def addItemToPlaylist( item ):
SendMessage( hWnd, 0x004A, 0, packData( 100, item ) )

file = r"C:\Party Animals - Atomic.mp3"
addItemToPlaylist( file )
----------------------------------

it's working like a charm now... I did found some other mistakes, but
the main problem was indeed solved by the 'global' thingy... so simple
(/me bangs head against the wall), thanks very much!
