Question on video in VB.Net

[jlwilliams1]

Ok, I've managed to use the AxMediaPlayer to display my video. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no help or documentation on the methods and properties for the media player. I want to disply the real time frames and/or time as the video is playing. This can be done by displaying the AxMediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition. What I need to figure out is how to update the display as the video is playing. Is this through an event, or do I update the display everytime the AxMediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition is changed? I'm not sure what is the best way to try and do this.

For complete documentation on the media player activex control, download the Windows Media Player SDK. Anyway, in response to your question, I would just use a timer and update the position every tenth of a second or so, that way you shouldn't be wasting too much processor time updating the display more than is necessary.
