This page documents a feature of the Windows Media Player 6.4 ActiveX control. We recommend that you migrate your content to use the Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control. For more information about the Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control, see the Windows Media Player 9 Series SDK.

This property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether the Windows Media Player control renders video in windowless mode.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.WindowlessVideo

Possible Values

This property is a read/write Boolean containing one of the following values.

Value Description
true The video is rendered in windowless mode.
false Default. The video is rendered in windowed mode.

Remarks

By default, an embedded Player object renders video in its own window within the client area. When WindowlessVideo is set to true, the Player object renders video directly in the client area, so you can apply special effects or layer the video with text.

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Player version 6.4.

Library: Use msdxm.ocx.

Platform: Windows 98 Second Edition or higher.
