User Interface Plug-ins Programming Reference

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The Microsoft Windows Media Player Software Development Kit (SDK) supports one interface for UI plug-ins. The following section documents this in detail.

Section Description
WMPNotifyPluginAddRemove An independent function used to notify Windows Media Player that a plug-in has been installed or uninstalled.
IWMPPluginUI Interface An interface to UI plug-ins.
Registration Flags A list of settings flags that affect the behavior of UI plug-ins.
