Playing media file in Windows CE

have you used google to search for the solution to your problem?

Here is an interesting thread in Microsoft support site.

yes i have tried a lot of things,as i m working on it since last 6 or 7 days i have already gone through this thread which u provided, but there is nothing helpful for me, thanks for providing help but if anything else can be done that will be really very helpful for me.

Thanks

Are you trying to use the WinCE emulator or an actual device? The emulators don't support a lot of stuff that the actual devices do mainly because emulators don't have access to the hardware. But I don't know if that's your problem or not. And not all devices that run WinCE are the same -- so what works on one manufacturer's device may or may not work on another. For example the scanners made by Symbols Technologies is a lot different than those made by Intermec. We had to make a lot of program changes when porting from one device to the other.

I am using the actual device not the simulator, well also my problem has been solved i have used the createProcess to play the media file but now i want to terminate the process by which the console of media player should also get closed autometically, right now i m using the TreminateProcess api but this process is returning the error code as 6 saying the handel is invalid, this is what i m using right now

CreateProcess(_T("\\windows\\ceplayer.exe"),_T("\\windows\\mo1263.wmv"), NULL, NULL, FALSE, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE, NULL, NULL, NULL, &ProcessInfo);

WaitForSingleObject( ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE );

TerminateProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, uExitCode);

// Close process and thread handles.
CloseHandle( ProcessInfo.hProcess );

but i m not able to close the mediaplayer autometically.can u please provide some help on this.

hi, i have also managed to kill the process, thanks for ur help, do u have any information bout disabling the status bar and task bar of media player from the registry.
