I made a media player. I want to improve it.
I want to show the same media player that I made on the form1 page, on the form2 page. when a video plays I want to show both synchronously.

Edit: summary, I want to use one media player to show a video on multiple forms.

What I have tried:

I tried that code : axWindowsMediaPlayer1 = Form2.axWindowsMediaPlayer2
but its not working.

You have another option (since one usually doesn't run multiple media players at the same time): create a static "media player class" and share it. If a form wants to "play", it stops / pauses the player and loads its own content. I use a queue: flush the queue or add to it.

If you're saying you want to use one media player to show a video on multiple forms, that won't work, because a UI element can only belong to one visual tree at a time.

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

yes, I want to use one media player to show a video on multiple forms. is there any other way to do this, excluding create a 'static media player'?

thank you.

If you want to show a video on multiple forms, you need a media player on each form. If you want to have the same movie play in sync in all windows, you sync the media players (position). A static player works better for just speech / music in this case.

Create a user control (around a player) if you want to share any media player custom code or controls.
