stopping midis with mciSendString()

hey, i'm using mciSendString to play music in my game. I was wondering, how can i stop music from playing once i've started it?

Code:

---

//...
mciSendString("play song.mid", NULL, 0, NULL);
//...
mciSendString("stop song.mid", NULL, 0, NULL); // this wont work

---

help?
thanks

I think I have done this once before. Store it in a char:

char* mid = "mymid.mid";
char* str = new char[256];

sprintf(str, "play %s", mid);

// ... SendString ...

// ... Stop ...

sprintf(str, "stop %s", mid);

// ... SendString ...

so would i say

Code:

---

mciSendString(str);
?

---

and wouldn't it just do the same thing?

mciSendString(
str,
NULL, NULL, NULL
);

yeah well i got it...i made a DWORD variable pointing to the functions and set the variable to 2, 1, and 0.(2 being stop)
so all is well...thanks syntax
