VLC and transparent window

Postby ElieAlAlam » 08 Dec 2009 16:28

Hi All,

Im developing a WPF application, and im using the activex control for vlc 1.0.3.
My applictaion opens a transparent window on top of the vlc control . I am not able to see the video when the transparent window is on top of the control. It just shows a grey background with audio.If the transparent window is hidden, it works fine.
I tried removing the video overlay property and still didn't work. I need the window to be on top of the vlc control.

Note: We are using Windows Xp Embedded. My VGA is NVIDIA ION.
Any suggestions will be helpful

Thanks

Have you tried other video output modules?

Does if help if you remove the DirectX video and WinGDI output module plugins from VLC install dir?
