How do I put an avi in a dialog box in Vista? John

Hi,

there is no specific avi control that you could just add and it plays the avi directly. I think you can embed a video control with
But I don't think you can reference an avi in the resources to auto-load and auto play. Maybe you can find a tip with a Google search? Also, using the "Find Resources" tool in Restorator, you can try to see if any program on your hard disk uses SysAnimate32 and if yes, how it loads the avi files.

Also, afaik, SysAnimate32 won't play the sound of an avi.

So If my animation is 1200 then the line would read:
CONTROL "1200", 123, "SysAnimate32", WS_TABSTOP, 0, 0, 200, 100

no, it should be:
CONTROL 1200, 123, "SysAnimate32", WS_TABSTOP, 0, 0, 200, 100

Thank you Florian!
