Windows Media Player size

[zxvqw]

Hi, I am new to Labview software

and I am currently using it for my project, and I try to embed Windows Media Player on it. However, the size always changes depend on the video size that it plays. My question is: How can I size the WMP, so that eventhough I play the 800x600 pixels it will just stay in in original size?

Thanks

Hi, have you tried using the Container Bounds Property node?.  If it doesn't work out, post your VI.

Actually, you'd need to set the propery on the Windows Media Player ActiveX control. The property you want to set is stretchToFit. You'd want to set that property to False.

Oh I have tried to set the property to have false on the stretch to Fit however it still become larger when I play the video that I wanted. So I'm really confused

Just create a property node, and set it to all write, put in values and your control will be limited to what size you have put in.

I have not tested this for AVIs, however it does not work for palying mp3s. The WMP window still resizes to a default (square) size when it starts playing an mp3.
