I need help preventing the vlc .net control from jumping into fullscreen when double clicked. All attempts to trap that event have proved fruitless. Can anybody help me.

it appears no one has an answer to this problem. I'll assume vlc did not cater for this.
Anyways, i was thinking about going around the issue by creating a timer that will minize the screen every 2 or so seconds.
Should have no negative effects on the playtime nor generate any errors because of the property state, i guess it should ignore the state.
Any other ideas on how i could go about this.

Is it not possible to put a transparent window over the video and then catch the mouse clicks?
Maybe this can help you in the right direction.

That will create problems when you try to crop the vlc player to fill the window. The two windows cannot be stretched over each other. but i believe the new API for vlc 0.8.6d has something to allow me to handle that problem. Anyone who can make sense of it? Please help, not that good with c++ header translations.

I have recently discovered that there is another control seated on top of the vlc control during play time. Is this the innervlc window thing? I have never known its true purpose. I'am trying to get the pixel color using getpixel for the vlc control, but it's not working and i think its because of this. Anybody who can tell me more about this?

Found that it was the hardware overlay that causes this problem.
