SUBVIEW Element

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 SUBVIEW element provides a way to manipulate a portion of a skin, for example, to provide a control panel that can be hidden when it is not being used. SUBVIEW elements are always children of parent VIEW elements, and can contain other skin element except for VIEW, THEME, and other SUBVIEW elements.

The SUBVIEW element supports the following attributes, which are defined under the VIEW element.

Attribute Description
