WMP: Buttons on top of a visualization

Wednesday, July 16, 2003 by Solar Flare | Discussion: Skinning

How do you make buttons display on top of a visualization when skinning Windows Media Player? Also, (this will save me time checking other people's sources ) how do you make the visualization effect a specific visualization?

Thank you!

You should be able to use zIndex to put it on top of the visuals. So long as the zIndex value for the button is larger that the zIndex for the visual you're able to see it. I dont know how to assign a specific visualization to the skin but maybe some hunting around in the WinMedia SDK will solve that problem. If this: onClick="visEffects.next(); will let you switch to the next visualization, then you should be able to figure out how to tell it to stitch to a certain one. Good luck!
