Gets the play mode of a multimedia document. This is a parameter of the `VAPIM_VIEW` message.

## Syntax

    #include <kvvapi.h>
    SendMessage(hWndVAPI, VAPIM_VIEW, VAPIMWP_VIEW_GETPLAYMODE,
               (LPARAM) (int*) lpnPlayMode );

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`hWndVAPI` | The handle of the VAPI window.
`lpnPlayMode` | A pointer to an integer that returns the play mode of the multimedia document: `0` for stop at end; `1` for loop at end.

## Returns

- `SendMessage()` returns `TRUE` if the call succeeds, in which case `lpnPlayMode` returns the play mode.
- `SendMessage()` returns `FALSE` if the call fails (for example, if there are invalid arguments or if no document is open), in which case `lpnPlayMode` is undefined.
