Media Player in the Toolbox.

During my experiment with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition,
I deposited Windows Media Player into the Toolbox Component section,
and used it successfully like any other tools.
I do have nevertheless problem with the related Help system.
I would like to have F1 to show the descriptions of the
methods and properties of the Media Player (like I have it on
other tools.) I do have Media Player SDK.
Please instruct me how can I make Media Player tool to
behave like the other tools?
Thanks for any guidance.

I can't find this "correct forum."

Would you be so kind to describe where is that "correct forum?"

Don't

kill the patient, it is now visible by people that frequent the Visual

C++ Express forum. Not exactly an Express kinda question but I

dare not move it again. Windows Media player uses a COM

interface. Those interfaces have an optional attribute that

specifies which help file is relevant to the interface. Windows

Media player however doesn't specify that attribute. Thus no

on-line help file. And none that was published by MSFT as far as

I know. You'll have to resort to whatever MSDN help is

available...

Thank you Sir.

But I still can't find that forum.

The search returns nothing.

Give me please some location.

I haven't tried it, but the default interface for the WindowsMediaPlayer object defined in wmp.dll is IWMPPlayer4. You can cast the object instance to a whole bunch of other IWMP* interfaces, including IWMPPlayer, look in the tree to the left of the article for their definitions.

Thank you Sir.

But I still do not know WHERE is that "correct" forum mentioned earlier.

I have asked for that now several times.

Please let me know what forum was/is that "correct" forum.

Thank you, it was very useful indeed!
It seems we do not understand each other.
What I would like to know where to was my message transfered

That is all.

the message was transferred by myself into the appropriate forum (Visual C++ express edition) which can be located here in this case:
