.Avi video's and Excel
I have developed quite a complex Exel workbook application.
I have used a simply ScreenCapture program, to record(.avi) how to use the various components of the Workbook. What would be the BEST way to have these Video's (.avi) files associated to the Workbook and run if needed? Can Excel run the .Avi from a Forms Button ? How do i go about this if it can? Regards Corey.... |

Not sure EXACTLY what you mean, or what version you have, but if you go to
your userform right-click the toolbox and additional controls there is a windows media player control that is very easy/intuitive to use if you have it. -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

Thank you John.
Go the .Avi to play in a Screen Sized U/F. Is there anyway to Have the Userform "Unload me" when the Avi finishes ? "John Bundy" (remove) wrote in message ...

Nick,
I was reading along here and fooling around with this control. I tried the EndOfStream event and it didn't work - the code never gets there. I looked on MSDN at this Media Player 11 page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa392418.aspx and it says EndOfStream is "reserved for future use." I'm using XL 2003 on win XP. Anyways it sure sounds like the right event, so hopefully it works for Corey. Doug "NickHK" wrote in message ...

Corey,
If Nick's suggestion works for you, it seems better to me, but in case it doesn't this does seem to work in XL 2003 win XP: Private Sub WindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(ByVal NewState As Long) If NewState = 1 Then '1 = "stopped" Unload Me End If End Sub hth, Doug "Corey" wrote in message ...

Of course, this will also unload the form if the user presses stop, which may not be what they're expecting <g. Doug "Doug Glancy" wrote in message ...

Doug,
I have not really used this control, just playing around when I saw it had that event, which seemed applicable. I have not updated the Media Player for a while (saw no need), so my ocx is marked as version "6.4.9.1129" So seems like that event has been removed in later versions and is now "Reserved For Future Use". From your link then, it looks like you need to check for .PlayState=8 <MediaEnded in the PlayStateChange events. NickHK "Doug Glancy" wrote in message ...
