VIEW.backgroundImage
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 backgroundImage attribute specifies or retrieves the background image of the VIEW or SUBVIEW.
elementID.backgroundImage
Possible Values
This attribute is a read/write String.
Remarks
The supported formats are BMP, JPG, GIF, and PNG. If the image is an 8-bit BMP file, its hue and saturation values can be changed dynamically using the backgroundImageHueShift and backgroundImageSaturation attributes.
In a Windows Media Download package, if you specify the backgroundImage attribute for a VIEW element, then you must also specify the backgroundColor attribute for that element.
