Settings.invokeURLs
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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.]
The invokeURLs property specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether URL events should launch a Web browser.
Syntax
player.settings.invokeURLs
Possible Values
This property is a read/write Boolean.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| true | Default. URL events should launch a browser. |
| false | URL events should not launch a browser. |
Remarks
Media files can contain URLs. When a URL is sent to the Windows Media Player control, it is passed first to the ScriptCommand event handler regardless of the value in invokeURLs. After ScriptCommand exits, Windows Media Player checks invokeURLs to determine whether to launch the default Internet browser with the URL. You can selectively display URLs by checking them in ScriptCommand and setting invokeURLs as desired.
Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This property only accepts or returns false.
