EFFECTS.windowed
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 windowed attribute specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether the visualization will be windowed or windowless, that is, whether the entire rectangle of the control will be visible at all times, or whether it can be clipped. This attribute can only be set at design time.
elementID.windowed
Possible Values
This attribute is a Boolean specified at design time and read-only thereafter.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| true | The control will be windowed. |
| false | Default. The control will be windowless. |
Remarks
If a non-rectangular visualization window is desired, or if any part of the window is covered by an image, this attribute must be set to false. This sacrifices some performance to do the necessary clipping.
If windowed is set to true, any image covering the visualization window is ignored, and the visualization window has the highest-level z-order.
