    Smile Inserting a control

    I need to insert a Windows Media Player Control into my Visual Basic Code in
    order to play WMV files. How do I do that in the simplest way?

    Go to Components and select it from the list first, then add to your form.

    I forgot to mention that I am using Visual Basic Express 2008. Where would I find the components to add in that version?

    Re: Inserting a control

    You posted in the wrong forum...

    Anyway... I'm not sure if Express allows this but give it the try anyway:

    - right-click the Toolbox > Choose item -> COM Components > select "Windows Media Player"
    - control should appear in the components so drag and drop it onto your form
