accessing media player library in vb.net to get list of photo's wi

using vb.net and accessing the media player library I can not figure out how
to access a list of photos with a perticular keyword like MP does in keyword
list.  The data I am after is already in the media player Library and I am
tring to find the VB.NET commands to access it. Media player keeps a list of
pictures that match a perticular keyword in its library. In media player
select picture-Libray-Keyword to see the list of boat pitures or Moms
pictures... Using Vb.net media player object access coding I am trying to
gain access to this list just like it lets me access playlist and pictures.
Playlist code is below as an example of the type of access I am using. This
was just test code to prove the access work to look at objects in the debuger.



Private



Sub play_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles play.Click




Dim MyList As IWMPPlaylistArray




Dim PlList As IWMPPlaylist

Player.currentPlaylist = Player.mediaCollection.getByName(



MyList = Player.playlistCollection.getAll




For x = 0 To 25

PlList = MyList.Item(x)




Next x




End Sub

The photo-specific metadata attributes available are :http://msdn.microsoft.

In the overall list there is no specific Keywords attribute though.

There is a Tags feature, which is part of Vistas version of windows
explorer, not of media player :
