Applying skins to embedded media player control (WMP9 SDK) -

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is any way to apply a media player skin to a media player object embedded onto a form. FYI: I am using the WMP9 SDK.

The reason i ask this is i want to create an equiliser for my mp3 player and the only way that i think it can be done is via skin programming. I have tried the following:

player.URL = "mp3_file.mp3?WMPSkin=headspace" (just used the headspace skin that comes with media player 9)

but this only played the file and didnt change the look/skin of the media player object.

Any help would be fantastic.
