Hide the Cone?

Postby pjsteele » 24 Apr 2008 17:04

I sucessfully using the ActiveX control in a C# and web project, but when the form loads it shows the "cone" for a split second.

I have tried making the control invisible until the movie plays and othe tricks but it still appears on occasions. here is an example Image

Is there a better wa to hide the Cone?

i think the only way is to play with the vlc.input.hasVout property and show/hide a bitmap

Thanks!

Is there a similar function for Activex plugin 1. I would assume it is a GetVariable command but I do not know the property.

in visual studio, go in view -> to 'explore library' (dont know the exact english terms) then you can explore your plugin API : functions and properties.

It is possible to change the cone with the an other bmp file that you want.
you have to use a "Resource tunner applicatin" and edit the activex file and change the cone.
If you want to show nothing you have to make a white bmp file and then follow instructions.
