Ok, I need some advice on how to do this. I have always used the mediaplayer.ocx control to play mp3 files in my program, but I love the crossfading plugins, etc. in winamp. So what I want to do is use a shell command to run Winamp in the background to play the file. That's easy! Here's the tricky part. I want to add buttons to my form to control the Play, Pause, Stop buttons in Winamp. I'm assuming I will need to use Win API calls to find the Winamp mainwindow, and then use something like FindChildbyClass to find the appropriate button in Winamp to click. Am I on the right track?

does winamp supply an ocx or a dll that you could use????
