Just like the Title says..

I am trying to figure out how to add a WindowsMediaPlayer control to a form via code. I am not able to find the correct syntax for it. Apparently, it is not done the same way as adding MSForms controls such as labels, texboxes, commandbuttons, etc..

Has anyone seen this done before?
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
It does not include syntax for programmatically adding the control. Only manipulating one that is already on a form. Sadly, my project does not contain forms or controls. this is all created on the fly at runtime and destroyed afterwards.

First, set a reference to Windows Media Player (Visual Basic Editor >> Tools >> Reference). Then try something like this...

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

    Dim objPlayer As WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer
    
    Set objPlayer = Me.Controls.Add("WMPlayer.OCX.7")
        
    With objPlayer
        .Left = 10
        .Top = 10
        .Url = "http://stream-dc1.radioparadise.com/aac-320"
    End With
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!

OMG! This got away from me! I did not see your reply. This works perfectly and was easily adapted to my runtime-built forms. Thanks!
