ActiveX Control for Windows Media Player

A graphical user interface that includes play lists. (Version 7 and 9)

Description

act_ive_gui_new : A graphical user interface that uses activex control with Windows Media Player version 7 and 9.

This graphical user interface provides almost all the controls to the Windows Media Player.

The program is an example to show how you can interface the Windows applications with MATLAB using activex control and GUIDE.

One of the new features in this application is the playlist that shows the list of songs and the movies which you want to play.

The song or the movie automatically jumps to other song or the movie that is there in the list . (provided you should start by double clicking on the song or movie name)

You can start playing song or the movie either by playing the play button or by double clicking on the song or movie name in the list.

All the objects are tooltips supported , just keep the cursor on the push buttons or the sliders or the edit box and see what each object does .
 
It is recommended that you should have Either Microsoft Windows Media Player version 7 or 9 . Before running this program set your screen size to 1024 by 768 pixels. GUI has got two edit boxes. One of the edit box shows the remaining time of the song or the movie. The other edit box provides the user an option to enter how many times the song or movie should repeat. (No .of Repetition Button).

The media will repeat for the no of many times which you have entered in the edit box. There are three sliders. The change rate slider changes the rate of the song or the movie i.e makes it run in slow motion and fast motion. The seek Position slider allows the user to go back and forward in the song or movie.

The volume sliders controls the volume of the song or the movie . Finally GUI has got a List Box that lists the name of the song or the movie . You can Double click on the song or movie name displayed in the list box to start playing.

The song or the movie will jump to next one in the list automatically.(Provided you start the media by double clicking in the list box not by pressing the start button). Thanks to Greg Aloe , whose file uigetfiles ,I have used in the application to select the multiple files .

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)
• Other requirements: MATLAB 6.5 Requires Windows Media Player version 7 or 9

There is no 'pause.jpg'.
Why do you not provide complete files?
