How would I go about creating time stamps for my track in VB.net

What im doing is I have a trackbar linked to my waveform and i want to add timestamps to it every 30 secs. 

-----:30---------1:00--------1:30---------2:00----------2:30-----------3:00---------3:30-------
_________________________________IIIIIII_______________________________________________

The IIII represents my Trackbar. 

Im using this to get my maximum for the scroll

        channelTotal = Bass.BASS_StreamCreateFile(_filename, 0L, 0L, BASSFlag.BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT Or BASSFlag.BASS_STREAM_PRESCAN)
        tbarPosition.Maximum = Convert.ToInt32(Bass.BASS_ChannelGetLength(channelTotal) / 20000)

Then in my timer im using to update the position of the trackbar

Dim pos As Long = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetPosition(_stream)
tbarPosition.Value = Convert.ToInt32(pos / 20000)

Any suggestions ?

Hello Rouse,

I didn't try out the following suggestions myself but Bass.NET has already a feature called Markers which makes it possible to Mark Positions on a WaveForm and give them a name, when the Waveform is rendered the can be displayed !

you could to the following:

• Use yourWaveForm.AddMarker(string Name, double Position) - To add a Marker for Example every 40 Seconds, you can use the BASS_ChannelGetPosition to get the Byte Position of for example 40 Seconds.
• Set yourWaveForm.DrawMarker to for exampleWaveForm.MARKERDRAWTYPE.Line | WaveForm.MARKERDRAWTYPE.Name | WaveForm.MARKERDRAWTYPE.NamePositionAlternate;
