how can i display and Avi movie file?

[chrisgaddy]

place the Microsoft Media Control on your form. Place a picture box on your form...

'set the picture box to accept the avi file
MMControl1.hWndDisplay = Picture1.hWnd
'let the media control know what it is going to play
MMControl1.DeviceType = "AVIVideo"
'specify the file to open
MMControl1.FileName = "C:\WINNT\clock.avi"
'open the control
MMControl1.Command = "OPEN"
'now play the file
MMControl1.Command = "PLAY"

Make sure you close the control when complete. To close it:

MMControl1.Command = "Close"
