IWMPRemoteMediaServices::GetScriptableObject method (wmp.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The GetScriptableObject method is called by Windows Media Player to retrieve a name and interface pointer for an object that can be called from the script code within a skin.
Syntax
HRESULT GetScriptableObject(
[out] BSTR *pbstrName,
[out] IDispatch **ppDispatch
);
Parameters
[out] pbstrName
Pointer to a BSTR containing the name of the scriptable object.
[out] ppDispatch
Pointer to a pointer to the IDispatch interface of the scriptable object.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | The method succeeded. |
Remarks
The user interface of an embedded control can be customized by using Windows Media Player skin technology. You must specify a skin file location by using the IWMPRemoteMediaServices::GetCustomUIMode method. Skins used in this way can communicate with the host of the control through a scriptable object retrieved automatically by Windows Media Player through the IWMPRemoteMediaServices::GetScriptableObject method.
The embedded Windows Media Player control does not have to be remoted to use this method.
Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method is not supported.
Requirements
| Minimum supported client | Windows Media Player 9 Series or later. |
