Using the Windows Media Player Control in a C++ Program
Note Using C++ to embed the Windows Media Player control is supported for Windows Media Player 9 Series or later.
There are several different ways to use the Windows Media Player control in a C++ program. You can create an instance of the control in a console application, or you can embed the control in a Windows application. Also, you can implement interfaces that enable you to run an embedded Player control in remote mode. You can customize the user interface of an embedded control by applying a skin definition file.
