Albundy,

Could you close out the question anyway please?

It helps with the clean up process.

Also, Could you post your answer as a comment so that If someone else has the same problem they can find the answer quickly?

Thanks

Ed.

you're totally right :) I do it right now ;o)

put this in a module .bas

   Type RECT
      Left As Long
      Top As Long
      Right As Long
      Bottom As Long
   End Type

   Type MCI_OVLY_RECT_PARMS
      dwCallback As Long
      rc As RECT
   End Type

   Global Const MCI_OVLY_WHERE_SOURCE = &H20000
   Global Const MCI_OVLY_WHERE_DESTINATION = &H40000
   Global Const MCI_WHERE = &H843

   'Enter the following Declare statement:

   Declare Function mciSendCommand Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendCommandA" (ByVal wDeviceID As Long, ByVal uMessage As Long, ByVal dwParam1 As Long, dwParam2 As Any) As Long

   ' Enter the following Declare statement:
   Declare Function mciGetErrorString Lib "winmm.dll" _
      Alias "mciGetErrorStringA" ( _
         ByVal dwError As Long, _
         ByVal lpstrBuffer As String, _
         ByVal uLength As Long) As Long

----------------------------------------------------------

then here is the code : note, you have to add a mci control , mci32.ocx.


Const MB_OK = 0
      Const MB_ICONSTOP = 16

      Dim Retval&, Buffer$
      Dim dwParam2 As MCI_OVLY_RECT_PARMS

      MMControl1.Command = "Close"
      MMControl1.FileName = txt_pat  'Sample AVI file to be
                                               'played.

      MMControl1.Command = "Open"

      'Initialize the structure being passed with mciSendCommand, and
      'set it in case you want to use the Notify property:
      dwParam2.dwCallback = MMControl1.hWnd
      dwParam2.rc.Left = 0
      dwParam2.rc.Top = 0
      dwParam2.rc.Right = 0
      dwParam2.rc.Bottom = 0

      'Send the message:
      'Enter the following two lines as one, single line of code:
      Retval& = mciSendCommand(MMControl1.DeviceID, MCI_WHERE, MCI_OVLY_WHERE_SOURCE, dwParam2)

      If Retval& <> 0 Then  ' An error occurred.
         Buffer$ = Space$(100)
         'Get a description of the error:
         Retval& = mciGetErrorString(Retval&, Buffer$, Len(Buffer$))
         MsgBox Trim$(Buffer$), MB_OK + MB_ICONSTOP, "ERROR"
      Else
         'Resize the picture box:
         wid = dwParam2.rc.Right - dwParam2.rc.Left
         hei = dwParam2.rc.Bottom - dwParam2.rc.Top
         size= wid & "x" & hei
         'MMControl1.Command = "close"
      End If

mmmmm how to close it ? :)

Albundy,

You could ask one of the EE Moderators to accept your comment as the answer.  So if someone is looking for the same solution as yourself they can find it easily.

Cheers,

Ed.

boaaa, I give you the points... nevermind :o)

cheers,
