I posted because there was so much vague crap on the first page.

 

is this a .net component?

 

I'm guessing something like:

 

mediaplayercontrol.Fullsize() or mediaplayercontrol.Fullsize = true, but you really do need to learn how to use MSDN, you'll never get anywhere without it.

[cdoverlaw]

okay, i tried the MediaPlayer.Fullsize = true annd i get this error

C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan.N-FORCE\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\docked sidebar\XPEBarTest\frmMediaPlayer.vb(140): 'Fullsize' is not a member of 'AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer'.

okay, i tried the MediaPlayer.Fullsize = true annd i get this error

 

I was just taking a guess. It means thats not the real way to do it.

But how do i get the media player 9 control to repeat playing the file like the repeat in normal windows media player 9

Its actually quite logical. the last link displas all the objects and properties available to the Media Player. By clicking on some of the links (it took bme 30 seconds), I found that the player object has a settings object, and one of the settings is loop.

Ok, i worked out the code

Private Sub MenuItem14_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem14.Click
       MediaPlayer.settings.setMode(Loop, True)
   End Sub

but i get the error

C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan.N-FORCE\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\docked sidebar\XPEBarTest\frmMediaPlayer.vb(254): Expression expected.

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay/mmp_sdk/settingssetmode.asp is where i got the code from

try

 

MediaPlayer.settings.setMode("loop", True)
