[RESOLVED] How to unload WMP in custom ActiveX Control?

[Samuel Venable]

I'm using VB5.

I've tried some methods I've seen on here and other places for unloading the Windows Media Player ActiveX control, (specifically the newer one, "wmp.dll"), but those methods seem to only work if I have it embedded in a Standard EXE project's form. My project is an ActiveX Control, (specifically an OCX), and unloading it from my control produces a runtime error and a crash.

What is the proper way to remove/unload Windows Media Player, (for video playback specifically), in an ActiveX OCX Control?

I've tried stopping the video and making the URL property reference a vbNullString, and after that I tried both:

Unload WindowsMediaPlayer
Set WindowsMediaPlayer = Nothing

And just this by itself:

Unload WindowsMediaPlayer

Both produce the same runtime error and crash.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

(Why has no one replied to me here on any of my topics yet?)

Thanks!
Samuel
