When I insert this fonction into my program and that I try to execute Me.caption = (&quot;e:\video.ra&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;) VB says that SW_SHOW is not declared.<br />
Thanx<br />

Hi,<br />
&nbsp;I would like to make some sort of interactive picture library. But I would also like to add some videos in it. I compressed them in Real Video but I can't make them play from a VB application. All I want is a command_Button that open RealPlayer and AUTOMATICALLY starts playing my Video.<br />
Thanks<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
