wxMediaCtrl, how to use it?

[egwqgwe]

Hi, I am using Codeblocks with wxSmith plugin and I need help how to use wxMediaCtrl for Mp3 playing. Would someone send simple(very simple if posible) code, which will play any *.mp3 file? Thank you for your every help of this.

(I am sorry for my bad english)

Hi,
Please look at the media{ctrl} sample.
Compile it, run it and see if you can play the file you want.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for answer, but what if i will want to use that, like wxSound? Without gui for that.

You can't use wxMediaCtrl like wxSound. But you can Hide() the control after creation, then it will be invisible.

Hi,
Well, there is a sound sample and the console sample which you can look at.

Thank you.

Oh, that sounds badly for me, because I can't find the MediaCtrl between components in panel of them.

Hi,
Are you using some kind of EAD tool? Which one - wxSmith, wxGlade, wxCrafter?

Thank you.

Hi,
You can try to put some placeholder (wxStaticText with the text "Media goes here") and after you done and the code is generated, replace it with the actual wxMediaCtrl.
Or you can just create the design by hand...

Thank you.

It works! , thank you so much.
Is it okay, if it hasn't icon, it looks like a custom widget, and it has same events as a custom widget?

[egwqgwe]

Oh, when i compile that, that works and it plays a .mp3 file... but it also delete the header of mediactrl and also MediaCtrl1 = new wxMediaCtrl(this,...

Hi,
But you said you want to hide the control? So of course everything will be hidden...

Thank you.

[egwqgwe]

Yes, but that's occupies the place of window, so it's looking weird.

[doublemax]

What exactly is the problem right now?

Do you want the control to be visible or not?

It doesn't have appearance, so that is invisible every time, but It looks weird, because it occupies a place.
