This is a basic video player based on
MCI, the original PowerBASIC version was first written long ago in 2000 with PB/DLL.
The main advantage of using MCI is that it works from XP to W10.
The attached project is skinned using the
zSkin API documented there
http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smfforum/index.php?board=151.0Note :
zSkin should not be confused with
WinLIFT that is a subclassing engine able to skin a window on the fly.
The Blur mode doesn't work on XP, and it has been disabled by Microsoft on Windows 10.
The attached PowerBASIC 32-bit source code has been compiled with PB 9.05, but it also compile fine in PB 10+, however the resulting binary EXE would be larger.
