| Hi, im trying to load an avi but i dont want it to start playing right away. is there any way i can pause it right after loading or is there an avi dll floating about? thanx in advance. |
| ||
| There is no way to stop it from playing natively. Movie commands are somewhat lacking at present. Not sure if there are any DLLs for the job, but if there are I'd be just as interested to find them! |
| ||
| There is this. Not blitz basic, but could be put into a DLL. If you want me to try and work on it, let me know, I could use a good challenge right now :) |
| ||
| A DLL for control of movie playback would be very useful. I've requested more movie commands before but Mark isn't really focusing on movie playback. The specific commands I requested would allow stop/pause, play, rewind, fast forward, and adjusting the volume of the movie. |
| ||
| I think I can only get it to play animations without sounds. So if you're doing a movie preview program, you're screwed :) |
| ||
| Seek is the big one for me. Can you get the Hwnd of the movie object in Blitz3D? |
| ||
| Ummm... maybe with EnumChildWindows() or something??? I'll go look that up... |
| ||
| thanx peeps... was just looking for a quick solution for broadcasting video from one pc to many using a data chain. |

@MasterBeaker - Okay, I've got some C++ source that should get the HWND of the blitz movie control, but doesn't work so far... maybe you can look at it?
#include <windows.h>
extern "C"{
_declspec(dllexport) HWND _cdecl GrabMovie();
}
HWND moviewnd=NULL;
BOOL CALLBACK EnumProc(HWND hwnd,LPARAM lParam)
{
LPTSTR cname[1000];
GetClassName(hwnd,(LPTSTR)cname,1000);
if((LPTSTR)cname=="SysAnimate32")
{
moviewnd=hwnd;
return false;
}
return true;
}
HWND GrabMovie()
{
EnumChildWindows(GetActiveWindow(),(WNDENUMPROC)EnumProc,(LPARAM)NULL);
return moviewnd;
}
Thanks! |
