Create a new project.
Press CTRL+T and check 'Windows Media Player'.

Then add a control to the program.

To open a file do this:
MediaPlayer1.FileName = "C:\YourFile.avi"

To play it:
MediaPlayer1.Play

you can use 'stop' and 'pause' and alot of other stuff...

well here's the second problem..

i'm using the windows media player 9 control and it doesn't seem to have the filename, play, pause or even stop methods....

is there something i need?
like the windows media player 9 sdk or some additional steps before i begin using the control?


thx for the help

oh heh

u just have to put

media1.controls.<play/pause/anything u want>

i suppose it's a lil different from the earlier windows media player controls
