Hi,there~

i'm writing an application that needs the WMP running at background.

i'm using C# to start a new process for media player,but i don't know
how to minimize the player at the very beginning.

any suggestion about that ?

thanks in advance :-)
 
You could bring your own form to the foreground after launching WMP, perhaps
on a thread with a short sleep in it to give the process a chance to get
started before you switch back to your application.

That's it ! ! it works!

Thanks Peter !!

And other problem is how to triggle an even when the track is played
to the end. I can't find any API to do this .

However , thank you again, Peter~

:)
 
You can't know when MP is done - it doesn't have events for that sort of
thing. If you need control over the playback, you're better off using the
Media Plaer ActiveX control in your application (in which case you never
need to hide Media Player anyway).

Thanks a lot ,Chris

I'll try it If the mediaplayerX can provide something like the length
of a playing track.
 
It can. That's how Media Player itself shows that information.
