Setting the taskpane for Windows Media Player object in vb.net?

I'm using Windows Media Player object in a VB.net app but I'm reinventing
the wheel to give users the ability to select their media. What I'd like to
do is just use the "setTaskPan e" switch to MediaLibrary and use all that
Microsoft has already coded to allow users to manage their media. However,
the SDK only gives this option with C++. Is their a work around to remote
the embedded player using VB.net?

I'm afraid I know the answer and it's not possible with .net. I just hate
to go through and add treeviews and code all that up when really everything
I need could easily be accommplished if I could just present the
MediaLibrary taskpane and then capture that selection.

Thanks,

John Granade

I copied it and tried to edit the movie.htm below in the <PARAM NAME=*** location of the file where the videoclip is on my hard drive. It is already recorded by Windows Media Player. My version is 9.0 although it is coded 5.0 in this htm file. Let me know if it is able to be fixed. *** denotes where it is edited to locate the path where the videoclip is.

Hi all, I'm trying to create a web page using VS2005, ASP.NET 2.0, that will allow me to choose from a list of media files on my computer and then play my selection within an embedded Windows Media Player on the page.

It plays the file specified in the source view, but I'd like to be able to...

I'm working on project that plays movies using Windows Media Player and I'm controlling everything with JavaScript. Per the client I only need to support IE 6 or greater which happens to make things a bit easier. What I need to do is create a playlist and play it using JavaScript. I keep on getting close but not close enough to play the dang files. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on what worked for them?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
