Overview
This example demonstrates how to launch a window which loads and plays a video, then automatically closes
Description
The example uses ActiveX to load a video through a web browser via an html page with the video embedded. First, the HTML file is modified to reflect the specified media file. The URL is then launched in the ActiveX container (note that the wmp.html file must be in the same directory as the VI). The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed to programmatically control the webpage, which controls Windows Media Player; front panel clicks are then translated into webpage button clicks. Finally, all ActiveX references are closed.
Requirements
- LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1.Run Main Window Caller.vi
