This gives a thread procedure. You have to call this procedure using
AfxBeginThread()funation from your main dialog.

Hi,
I am simply using the following lines of code in OnInitDialog()

m_wndAnimate.Open(_T("D:\\Sample.avi;"));

m_wndAnimate.CenterWindow();

m_wndAnimate.Play(0,-1,-1);

where
m_wndAnimate =variable of cAnimate control.

Please review and share your response.

This will not work. because you have to continusly play the avi file. For that calling just one Play() is not enough. you refer the link i have specified. there the video is played in a message loop until you get the event to stop the play
