I would like to reproduce an user interface similar to Windows Media Player with those effects on buttons and so on. Are there some samples around ? Thanks in advance.

There's a MCISendString example in the code archives. MCISendString allows to control a movie canvas to some degree. although I have to say MCI is pretty slow and bugous. You may also try to edit/mod the AVIFil examples to be able to play/etc. movies. Probably there are also ways to directly use the mediaplayer using some decls-ed API commands, but I haven's seen any userlibs for this kind of job so far. And the buttons (not sure what version and or skin you're talking about), just look around, there are many examples on buttons with various effects.

Thank you... I only need the visual effects... I will look better in the archive, though I've only found complete GUI so far.

I think there were a lib... can't remember the name... like "Bass" library...

Well.. I don't need a lib for playing music or videos.. just some examples for a nice looking GUI. :-) Thank you anyway for your answer.

For nice looking GUIs try Sprite Candy. Also I did a spectrum analyser using BASS - see here http://www.boiledsweets.com/techdemos
