Using Windows Media Player with Netscape 7.1
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 Netscape 7.1 Web browser provides native support for Windows Media Player ActiveX controls by using the Gecko ActiveX Component. This means you can embed the Windows Media Player control in your webpages for Netscape 7.1 by using the same syntax you would use for Microsoft Internet Explorer. Netscape 7.1 also supports scripting the control and event handling in a similar fashion.
If you wish to use the Windows Media Player control in Netscape, it is recommended that you use Netscape 7.1.
For more information about the Gecko ActiveX component, see the StreamingMedia.com website.
The full download of this SDK includes a sample that demonstrates Web browser detection. For more information about samples included with the SDK, see Samples.
