    Playing a video clip after clicking a button once.

    I learnt how to use Windows media player, or VLC to play a video on a form. I would like to click once on a button to play a clip and not use a player. Can someone refer me to a tutorial to play video or audio clips. As said, one click and it must play, do not really want to see controls of a player. Just a close button?

    There is an example VLC player here https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...n-form.306367/
    I've attached an example Access Media Player
    However, no real need to use VLC or Media Player to play videos as you can do that using a web browser control. I'll see if I can find an example

    I also have another example app you can look at which includes playing sound clips http://www.mendipdatasystems.co.uk/c...mer/4594365457

    Hope that helps

    Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\P\08 VideoTutorials\Laugh.mp4". My experience is that this simple statement opens any audio or video file on my computer, after clicking once. No module, or any other complicated way that I found from a few sources.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
