Control Windows Media Player using VBA in PowerPoint

M

Mike M.

Windows 2000, XP. PowerPoint XP. I am writing and addin to recognize
placeholder shapes and play a video using WMP 9. I do not want a form or
anything else visible except WMP. The only way I could get the Windows
Media Player control is to add it to my toolbox and drop it on a user form.
I guess you can't create an instance of a control without a form to be
placed on in VBA. Is that true? I want to show the video clips full screen
so I make the form occupy the complete screen and make the control the same
size as the form. However, I can't get rid of the forms title bar. In VB I
can set the properties of the form so it doesn't have any title bar or edges
but not VBA. Is there a way to do this in VBA?

TIA
