Media Player API + uimode problem



Hi Guys,

I've recently been developing a touchscreen media player based on the WMP
ver 11 API. The project is 99% complete apart from one rather major problem
(hopefully with a simple solution!)

Because the program is touchscreen based, i have set the uimode of the wmp
player object to 'none' to hide the standard controls (using custon graphical
controls instead) so the window can be used simply to show video files or
visualisations. However after setting the player to fullscreen mode to play a
video for example (either double clicking the video window or setting the
'fullscreen' property, the only method I can find for exiting full screen
while a track is playing is to press escape, which isn't very helpful in a
touchscreen application with no keyboard.

Double clicking on the full screen player works fine with uimode set to full
or mini, but with uimode set to none, clicking on the screen only pauses and
un-pauses the currently playing item.

I am coding in VB and have tried calling/triggering multiple events to force
the media player to exit fullscreen, however nothing has worked so far.

I'm really tearing my hair out on this one and would really appreciate any
advice/suggestions.

Regards

Jonathan Kaye
