Adding Video

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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.]

You can add a video to your file by simply using the VIDEO element and defining where you want the video window to be placed.

Use the same code as you did in the Choosing Files section; all you need to do is add the VIDEO element with the top, left, width, and height attributes.

        <VIDEO
            top = "10"
            left = "80"
            width = "180"
            height = "180"/>

Then when you play a video, it will be displayed in the window. The art for the video sample was modified to make a slightly larger skin. Because layers were used in Photoshop, the buttons were easily moved around and a new set was created very quickly. Only the background image was changed. A fill was used in a blank layer and a bevel and emboss effect was added.

You can see a similar working video skin in the sample section of the SDK.
