Embedding a device in an application?interest) using VB. The primary command for this is the mciSendString (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_mcisendstring.asp). Everything is working great except for one important feature. The mciSendString opens video in a new window independent of my application. Is there any way to embed it into the app? Ideally I would like to embed multiple video windows in some kind of MDI. I went through my books and they only talk about embedding controls, whereas (as I understand it) the mciSendString is opening a device. Please remember I am a newbie at programming, but familiar enough with VB from VB 6 (and I am now using VB.NET 2003). Thanx in advance, I've never tried it but how about
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_window.asp You could have a panel in a winforms application and pass the hwnd of the panel to the device using this command.

Anyway, I found a
different way of doing it, using the Handle of the window in the open command of mcisendstring. So, closee to what you suggested. Thanx again.
