Windows Media Player activex in delphi 2005

I have imported the activex but it is not appearing in the tools pallette at all, much less in the group I speficied.  

I need to have it placed on my form so I can play a wmp10 movie with it.  Noone should tell me that I can use a different component. I know this works, I've done it with d7 I just dont know how to get it working with 2005

Do - Import ActiveX

Then select the activex to import

click the install button

then compile & ok


NOw it should be on your ActiveX tab of the component pallette

Your instructions work perfectly in d7. I was able to do it already using this procedure in d7.  it doesnt work in d2005 (d9)
Don't know why you are having trouble - sorry.... Importing an ActiveX control is pretty much the same for all versions of Delphi

Have you ever used Delphi 2005?  It's interface is entirely different for importina activex controls.  It is a sort of wizard that does not end up with the compile option as it would in a previous version.  It is certainly not the same as my d7 or d6

On point 4, there needs to be a "compile" notice, but otherwise thanks for getting that figured out for me.
