Hi,
I need to insert a Windows Media Player in a Win32 window. As I've never done ActiveX, ATL or MFC development I'd like to know if there is a way of inserting a WMP ActiveX control (is a dll isn't it?) into a Win32 window, without passing through ATL or MFC libraries.
This is trivial in .net, but here I'm bumping into my ignorance. Many thanks!
Check out the WmpHost sample found in the Windows Media SDK. I know it's in the older SDK's such as Windows Media Player SDK 10. But I'm not sure about the newer SDK's.
Yes, ActiveX embedding is native in Win32 (without ATL, MFC , or anything else)
You just have to use the OCX Host class.
No code needed.
Thanks guys!
Alex, since u hit straight to my specific request, do u know if I can dock my control withing the win32 created window? If I can call the WMP ocx (I know is somewhere in the system) in my container window, would it follow the behaviour of this one, ie follow it's resizing, moving and close? In terms of development (under VS2008), should I start a win32 project, add the ocx ressource and ... configure the properties? Am I missing something? Cheers!
