The Windows Media Player control provides built-in error support by displaying error messages in dialog boxes and on the status bar. Alternatively, you can add error handling to your application by processing error events.
If the SendErrorEventsproperty is true, error message boxes are disabled and the control sends error events instead.
If SendErrorEvents is false, the Windows Media Player control displays error dialogs and does not send error events.
Error-handling events supported by the Windows Media Player control include the following:
- The
Errorevent
signals that a critical error has occurred.
When your application receives an error event, you can determine the specific nature of the error by checking the following properties:
-
HasErrorproperty specifies whether the Windows Media Player
control currently has an error.
-
ErrorCodeproperty specifies a code number associated with the
type of error.
-
ErrorDescriptionproperty specifies a description of the error.
