Pause Method (MediaElement)
Pauses media at the current position.
| XAML |
Cannot use methods in XAML.
|
| Scripting |
object.Pause()
|
Remarks
This method pauses the media if the media is currently running. The Play method can be used to resume.
CanPause returns false for any case where the MediaElement has loaded live streaming media. Calling Pause on a MediaElement that has opened and is playing streaming content does not throw an error. Instead the method call is ignored.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the Play, Pause, and Stop methods to control playback of a MediaElement.
