Interfaces for Visual Basic .NET and C#

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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.]

This section documents the interfaces exposed by the Windows Media Player ActiveX control.

Several properties and methods of the AxWindowsMediaPlayer Object are used to retrieve specific interfaces. These interfaces, in turn, may have properties and accessor methods for retrieving further interfaces.

The Windows Media Player control exposes the following interfaces.
