ActiveMovie attribute description, user information (more comprehensive)

Source: http://bbs.bccn.net/thread-181672-1-1.html

It seems that many people are asking about this control. I found some information to share with you. Please add any omissions.
The previous sections mainly explain the functions. If you are in urgent need, you can directly reverse the process to view the Attribute Table.

Although the control is made by Microsoft, it still seems to be somewhat inadequate. Some interfaces are not friendly enough to establish functions by themselves, and some cannot be found in later versions of MSDN, very troublesome.

Body:
Register the control
First put the file AMOVIE. Copy OCX (file name may vary) to (Operating System Disk) D:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/
Click Start> RUN> regsvr32 D:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/AMOVIE. OCX, and press Enter.
Register successfully. Go To VC Project-> Add To Project-> Components And Controls. Click To open the Components And Controls Gallery file, select ActiveMovie Control Object, And click Insert

ActiveMovie control is a control developed by Microsoft for multimedia programming. It provides excellent playback functions for audio and video media files and supports multiple file formats, you can play normally from the most common WAV and AVI files to VCD video files in the MPEG Compression format. The control can automatically identify the device type based on the file suffix and complete corresponding control. Therefore, it is a good idea to use the ActiveMovie control if the application being compiled needs to provide multimedia support. In fact, many excellent multimedia applications use the ActiveMovie Control for internal multimedia playback. As long as you carefully design the user interface of the application, we can also develop a full-featured, beautiful-looking, and quite standard multimedia player. In addition
In the latest versions of 95/98 and Windows NT, The activemovie control is provided as part of the operating system, even if the activemovie control is not installed in the user system, microsoft's license agreement also allows you to publish activemovie runtime files in your application release package.
This article will first introduce some special properties, methods, and events of the activemovie control, and then use this control to develop a multimedia player with certain functions, finally, let's talk about several issues that need to be paid attention to when using the activemovie Control for multimedia development.
