Creating a User Interface Plug-in for Windows Media Player 10 Mobile

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile uses the same UI plug-in model as the desktop Windows Media Player. However, Windows Media Player 10 Mobile can only interact with background UI plug-ins. Because of the similar plug-in models, the same API calls that apply to background UI plug-ins on the desktop also apply to background UI plug-ins on a Windows Mobile device.

The following sections describe how to create a background UI plug-in by using wizard-generated code from the Windows Media Player Plug-in Wizard.

Section Description
Getting Started Describes what you need to install and how to use the Windows Media Player Plug-in Wizard to help automate the creation of a background UI plug-in.
Modifying Wizard-generated Code Describes what you need to modify from the wizard-generated code created in the previous section so that it works with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile.
