I'm working on a C# application which in I have a AxWindowsMediaPlayer control. I want to disable its controls individually, not all together. So far I have to use this code which disables all the controls

wmpPlayer.Ctlenabled = false;

Is there a way to disable for example just stop button?

I need to keep the Duration bar enabled and I don't want to hide them by uiMode.

  • i am afraid it is difficult to find a solution because the control does not have a property to disable just one button. but does it make sense to disable stop while user can click pause/next/fast forward? – kennyzx Oct 14 '14 at 09:38
  • @kennyzx The problem is if I use `wmpPlayer.Ctlenabled = false;` it will disables the `Duration bar` as well. But I need to have it enable. – Ghasem Oct 14 '14 at 09:41
  • The automation interface for the look-and-feel of the player was intentionally crippled. Too much of a hazard to innovation, WMP changed a great deal over the years. You can't make this work. Consider creating your own UI and just use WMP for playback. – Hans Passant Oct 14 '14 at 11:07

@Alex Jolig I found the solucion.

1º Select the windows media player and click in property pages (the key in properties), click there.

I can't found a way to disable controls and make then invisible... but i got the same effect by dragging an image box just over the Window Media Controls, so user can't operate and see them...

This should work for not being able to stop:

if (axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPaused)
{
            axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();
}

Put this on a Timer and then 1 on interval. After that just copy the timer and past it 10 times. I don't know if it makes any difference, but works for me as now.

Answer to this, since i can't add a comment: To hide Windows Media Controls: Click on properties on the player > Controls Layout > None (This will hide the controls)

To make it invisible: Put a timer and put enabled = true on properties > right click on the timer and Show Code Here put in:

If you want to close the player:

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.close();

if you want to hide the player, but still play in the background:

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Hide();

Click properties on the timer again and choose a interval

This will make Windows Media Player close/hide after a time (interval)
