i saw theres no tutorial about this :P
Hi , if someone wonders, theres a better trick than hiding the windows media player controls with a panel or something , theres a better method

So you add the control(Toolbox=>rightclick=>Add=>Com=>Windows Media Player) to your form and on the form_load event you add this code

Code: Select all

MediaPlayer.uimode = "none"

then you'll get something like this

or you can just right click the axwindowsmediaplayer and go to Properties and select the none style :P

thats what I forgot to mention, I tried to change that in properties but the property dissapears when debugging/building

I made a simple media player just to test this.

By using this and disabling contextmenu, we can make it look as a non-wmp media player.

I remember talking about this with someone, just can't remember who...
But, Runar, how did you make the listbox do that? Was it a flash animation, and after the flash animation finished, it showed the listbox and unshowed the flash animation? Or how did you do that? It was a perfect execution of the trick shown here. Nice tip, Axel! cooll;

GoodGuy17, i guess he used a timer to first increase the widht, then the height and then the rest of it
