Windows in Forms.

[Dr. Pastor]

Using the Forms of Visual C++, I have designed
the appearance of an application,
having menus, buttons, progression, etc.
I would like to put on this face
three sizable windows. In each window
a thread will display a .avi file.
How should I proceed?
Thanks for any advice.
Dr. Pastor.

Hi Dr. Pastor,

The easiest way is to use Media Palyer COM control, just add that control to
the toolbox and drop it on a form

 

[Dr. Pastor]

Thank you Sir!
Where from could I get Media Player COM control?
Many thanks again.

Hi Dr. Pastor,

Frankly I haven't used that control so I can explain how to added to the
toolbox. How to use though honestly I don't know.

So adding to the toolbox is easy.
1. Make sure you have Media Player installed.
2. Do right click over the toolbox and select Add/Remove Items (you can add
the control to one of the created groups or you can create a new one)
3. A dialog pops up. Click on 'COM Components' page and find the control in
the list. It is called 'Windows Media Player' Set the check next to it.
Close the dialog with the OK button.

That's it.
Now is the hardest part to figure out how to use it. You can find the SDK
docs in MSDN
