I am embedding the VLC ActiveX Plugin in a Windows Forms application with VB.NET.

In the documentation for the WebPlugin https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin/ there are methods like vlc.addEventListener(eventname, callback, bubble) and vlc.attachEvent(eventname, callback). But the documentation for the ActiveX Plugin https://wiki.videolan.org/ActiveX/ is obsolete and has no information about how to listen to the plugin's events.

How can I add an event listener to the plugin events?

Hi,

in VB.NET, the kind of registration of an event listener is a little bit different.
Here are two examples:

Code: Select all

'MediaPlayerPlaying event
Private Sub AxVLCPlugin21_MediaPlayerPlaying(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles objVLC.MediaPlayerPlaying
    MsgBox("Media is playing")
End Sub

'MediaPlayerTimeChanged event, returns time as integer
Private Sub AxVLCPlugin21_MediaPlayerTimeChanged(sender As Object, e As AxAXVLC.DVLCEvents_MediaPlayerTimeChangedEvent) Handles objVLC.MediaPlayerTimeChanged
    MsgBox("Time has changed: " & e.time)
End Sub
