I am using the code below to play audio files in a "file manager" type app. What I'm wondering is if there's any reason I can't use a similar tactic to show "previews" of movie files (ie. mpg's).
If possible, I'd like to do so via code (not by putting the WMP control on the form at design time), and display the video without the control buttons (play, pause, stop, etc.).
Thoughts? Thanks!

Code:
Imports WMPLibCode:
Dim WithEvents player As WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayerCode:
Private Sub playFile(ByVal url As String)
player = New WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer
player.URL = url
player.controls.play()
End Sub
