The following code illustrates how to seek to the beginning of the playable media for a device. Note that this might not be zero for all device types.

   USHORT           usDeviceID;
   MCI_SEEK_PARMS   mseekp;

   /* Seek the device to the beginning                                 */

   /* Assign hwndCallback the handle to the PM Window                  */
   mseekp.hwndCallback = hwndMyWindow;

   mciSendCommand( usDeviceID,              /* Device ID               */
    MCI_SEEK,                               /* MCI seek message        */
    MCI_NOTIFY | MCI_TO_START,              /* Flags for this message  */
    (PVOID) &mseekp,                        /* Data structure          */
    0);                                     /* No user parm            */
