When using Windows Media Player Active X control, set the 'Playing' value

[Miles R]

When using the Windows Media Player on an Access Form, it displays a message briefly underneath the video as the example below.




In this case it gets the 'interpres' value from the Title of the wmv file. If the title is blank, it seems to use the file name.
After a few seconds, the message is replaced by the Playlist Name.

I change the playlist name myself using Me.WindowsMediaPlayer.currentPlaylist.Name, but cannot find out how to change the 'Playing' option to something of my own choosing.

On the off chance, does anyone know if this is possible and how I would set this.

You could set uimode to 'none', and put a textbox under the player control like this:
And you can put anything you want in the textbox.



The downside is that visualizations go dead, not responding to audio.

you can also create New Playlist and name it same as the media name you want
to play. see function fnGetMedia() that does the same.
open MPlayer form and select a file/media to play.

Very impressive looking application, by the way.
