Okay,
What I have is a button that when clicked, playes a video in the default player (Usually WMP) then closes the form. I am using ProcessStart then Me.Close How can I do the same thing, however play the video full screen, and then close prior to the form closing. I am an absolute beginer and have only begun to learn VB. I will need the simplest of instructions. What I have learned is thanks to the knowledgable folks on this board. Thank you for your help John,
Why do you take as absolute beginner the most difficult part from Windows and programming to start. For what you want, you need in fact interop and it those are not there the use of application program interfaces. You process start is nothing more than a kind of replacing a Dos command.

these folks in here have, then I would not be doing things wrong. I am taking this up as a hobby, but do want to learn (slowly) Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:euLN0UhIHHA.1816@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > John, > > Why do you take as absolute beginner the most difficult part from Windows > and programming to start. > > For what you want, you need in fact interop and it those are not there the > use of application program interfaces. > > You process start is nothing more than a kind of replacing a Dos command. > > Cor > > "john piper" <j***@piper.com> schreef in bericht > news:zJghh.5$KF2.3@tornado.tampabay.rr.com... >> Okay, >> What I have is a button that when clicked, playes a video in the default >> player (Usually WMP) then closes the form. >> >> I am using ProcessStart then Me.Close >> How can I do the same thing, however play the video full screen, and then >> close prior to the form closing. >> >> I am an absolute beginer and have only begun to learn VB.

(If so, post back and I'll look at the code for that). By the way, the above code basically came from typing "Process.Start" into the Help page. You might like to examine some of the examples in there yourself. Hope this helps. ShaneO There are 10 kinds of people - Those who understand Binary and those who don't. John-
I'm also a beginner, and also working on an application that plays videos. I found that it was very simple to download MS's WMP SDK (or named something like that, I'm not at home so I don't have access to my PC to check). From there, I added a WMP control on my userform, and can easily load and play video clips (AVI clips, in my case) right in my application with a few lines of code. Depending on what you are trying to do, it may be easier than trying to work with an external player. If you provide more detail about what you are trying to accomplish, the MVPs and other gurus here have been very helpful and can probably give you specific advice. If I understand correctly that you want to play a video, close the video window, then close your program- if you embed the video player in your userform, then you've just saved a step or two.
