Creating an MCIWnd Window

The MCIWndCreate function registers and creates an MCIWnd window. The window can be a parent, child, or pop-up window. The following example creates an MCIWnd window as a child window and lets the user control playback by providing access to the trackbar and the Play, Stop, and Menu buttons. The example specifies a handle of a parent window and specifies NULL for the window styles, so the default window styles of WS_CHILD, WS_BORDER, and WS_VISIBLE are used to create the MCIWnd window.

// Global variable and constants

// extern HINSTANCE g_hinst; instance handle

// extern HWND g_hwndMCIWnd; MCIWnd window handle

case WM_COMMAND:

switch (wParam) {

case IDM_CREATEMCIWND:

g_hwndMCIWnd = MCIWndCreate(hwnd, g_hinst, NULL,
"sample.avi");

break;

}

break;

Note You could also specify NULL for both the parent window handle and the window styles, in which case the default window styles would be WS_OVERLAPPED and WS_VISIBLE.
