Stops and resets media to be played from the beginning.
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
You can interactively control media playback by using the Play, Pause, and Stop methods of a MediaElement object. The following example defines a MediaElement object and several buttons for controlling media playback.
<Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <MediaElement x:Name="media" Source="xbox.wmv" Width="300" Height="300" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" /> <!-- Stops media playback.--> <Button Click="StopMedia" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Content="Stop" /> <!-- Pauses media playback. --> <Button Click="PauseMedia" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Content="Pause" /> <!-- Begins media playback. --> <Button Click="PlayMedia" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" Content="Play" /> </Grid>
The accompanying code creates several event handlers and uses the Stop, Pause, and Play methods to control the MediaElement.
