Hi there,

I intend to develop a wrapper for Windows media player to get a handle
of the player so that I can open, play, pause and stop the player
programmatically. I also need the player to go full screen. I was
wondering if I can achieve this in C# by p/Invoking to WaveOut
functions in coredll.dll. Or should I write an unmanaged wrapper in C++
for WMP activex?

Regards,
Krupa

Take a look at this post by Alex Feinman were he points to the web cast and
the code on how to host WMP controls (and other) in CF v2.

That webcast was indeed helpful. Thanks for guiding me to that link.

I have a question. Is it true that WMP 9.0 does not expose any ActiveX
interfaces? I have a WMP 9.0 player on the device. Do you think I can
write a wrapper for it?

I believe you will need WMP 10.
