Windows Media Player 11 for Vista
Published on October 16, 2007 By Vad_M In Bug Reports
I already found what doesn't work in the DesktopX but I can't correct this problem.

The last version of Windows Media Player that I have used on Windows XP PRO SP2 was: 11.0.5721.5230.
But the number of version in the Vista Ultimate is: 11.0.6000.6344.

The ActiveX Control of this player doesn't supported in the DesktopX. So any of "Sub(s)" like:
Sub Control_OpenStateChange(NewState),
Sub Control_PlayStateChange(NewState),
Sub Control_MouseDown(nButton, nShiftState, fX, fY),
Sub Control_PlaylistChange(Playlist,change),
Sub Control_CurrentItemChange(Item),
Sub Control_MediaChange(Item), etc...
doesn't work on Vista.

Please help me to solve this problem or show me the way how I must correct this by myself because I can't work with DesktopX anymore!

One more small bug in the DesktopX Script Editor:
I can't change font type and font size. The Script Editor doesn't save any of my changes after its restart...

In regards to the built-in WMP activex control, that may need some adjusting. I will let the developers know. I have personally only used this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384855.aspx

Yep, that is still a problem. I will mention something about this as well.

Thanks!

Thank you Mike!

I already studied Windows Media Player 11 SDK long ago. This really helped me to create my own media player. But how I can use these knowledges if DesktopX doesn't allow me to do this? So I must stop this project and wait while Stardock developers will solve this problem.

Honestly, I'm very sad... The time that we can spend for our hobbies is so shortly!
