Remarks

Physical or electronic remote control devices often have a group of four directional buttons, used for certain types of operations such as menu navigation. Call this method when a user clicks the left directional button on the control device.

Selecting a DVD button simply highlights the button but does not activate the button. Selecting is the programmatic equivalent of tabbing to a button but not pressing the space bar or ENTER key. Activating is the programmatic equivalent of tabbing to a button and then pressing the space bar or ENTER key.

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Player version 6.4.

Library: Use msdxm.ocx.
