Adding sound and/or video to a form

[Malfunction]

Are there existing (maybe third party) controls that let you incorporate soundfiles (mp3 or wav) or videos (mpg) on a windows form?

[Shazbots]

what do mean by incorporate? Do you want to play them?

Yes....exactly.

For the sounds I could live with a simple button that's starts playing the soundfile but I don't know how to play a soundfile.

The video would need some kind of interface like the mediaplayer.

 

any ideas?

There's the Windows Media SDK that lets you embed Media Player in your form amongst other things. Its broken into a bunch of SDKs which are described here:

Or there's Managed DirectX that contains a really handy and easy to use AudioVideoPlayer library:

For playing sound files on Windows machines, you can use the

[api]PlaySound[/api] API.
