If i use mciSendString (winmm.dll) and try to read file that contains spaces (for example F:\MUSIC\(01) [VA]01.StimAxel - Restart(DJ X-VenomRemix).mp3) i got an error with code 263.
mciSendString can't work with files that contains spaces. How to avoid this problem?
Pcommand = "status \"" + path + "\" length";
int ret = (int)mciSendString(Pcommand, sBuffer, sBuffer.Capacity, 0);

The string you are sending is just nonsense, *status* is for a device, not a media file. This doesn't get better until you explain what you are *really* trying to do. – Hans Passant Nov 13 '10 at 23:08

Try surrounding the filename with double quotes.
Update: According to the docs, the status command takes a device name, not a filename. You need to use open to open the file on a specific device, then pass that device name to status.

I open it before using status. It doesnt helps. Thats because file name have spaces. – Sergey Nov 13 '10 at 22:41
