Video files question

[Travis]

Hi, I am working on a project where I want a video to be able to be
displayed. I just want to be extremely basic: they hit a Browse button,
select a .avi or .mpeg, and the video plays on the form (as a picture
displays in a PictureBox, I am essentially asking for a "VideoBox")

I don't need a pause, next, previous, or any of that. I just want the video
to play, and when it's done, it should loop, forever I guess until the form
closes.

Thanks for the help!

You can safely use Windows Media Player's ActiveX control by adding to
your toolbox from COM tab. Then associtate file's URL with WMP object
to play.

Hope this helps,
