\section{\class{wxMediaCtrl}}\label{wxmediactrl}

wxMediaCtrl is a class that allows a way to convieniently display types of 
media, such as videos, audio files, natively through native codecs.

wxMediaCtrl uses native backends to render media, for example on Windows
there is a ActiveMovie/DirectShow backend, and on Macintosh there is a 
QuickTime backend.

\membersection{Rendering media}\label{renderingmediawxmediactrl}

Depending upon the backend, wxMediaCtrl can render
and display pretty much any kind of media that the native system can - 
such as an image, mpeg video, or mp3 (without license restrictions -
since it relies on native system calls that may not technically
have mp3 decoding available, for example, it falls outside the
realm of licensing restrictions).

For general operation, all you need to do is call 
\helpref{wxMediaCtrl::Load}{wxmediactrlload} to load the file
you want to render, catch the EVT\_MEDIA\_LOADED event,
and then call \helpref{wxMediaCtrl::Play}{wxmediactrlplay} 
to show the video/audio of the media in that event.

More complex operations are generally more heavily dependant on the
capabilities of the backend.  For example, QuickTime cannot set
the playback rate of certain streaming media - while DirectShow is 
slightly more flexible in that regard.


\membersection{Operation}\label{operationwxmediactrl}

When wxMediaCtrl plays a file, it plays until the stop position
is reached (currently the end of the file/stream).  Right before
it hits the end of the stream, it fires off a EVT\_MEDIA\_STOP
event to its parent window, at which point the event handler
can choose to veto the event, preventing the stream from actually
stopping.

Example:
\begin{verbatim}
//connect to the media event
this->Connect(wxMY_ID, wxEVT_MEDIA_STOP, (wxObjectEventFunction)
(wxEventFunction)(wxMediaEventFunction) &MyFrame::OnMediaStop);

//...
void MyFrame::OnMediaStop(const wxMediaEvent& evt)
{
    if(bUserWantsToSeek)
    {
        m_mediactrl->SetPosition(
            m_mediactrl->GetDuration() << 1
                                );
        evt.Veto();
    }
}
\end{verbatim}

When wxMediaCtrl stops, either by the EVT\_MEDIA\_STOP not being
vetoed, or by manually calling 
\helpref{wxMediaCtrl::Stop}{wxmediactrlstop}, where it actually
stops is not at the beginning, rather, but at the beginning of
the stream.  That is, when it stops and play is called, playback
is gauranteed to start at the beginning of the media.  This is 
because some streams are not seekable, and when stop is called
on them they return to the beginning, thus wxMediaCtrl tries
to keep consistant for all types of media.

Note that when changing the state of the media through Play()
and other methods, the media may not actually be in the
wxMEDIASTATE\_PLAYING, for example. If you are relying on the
media being in certain state catch the event relevant to the state.
See \helpref{wxMediaEvent}{wxmediaevent} for the kinds of events
that you can catch.


\membersection{Video size}\label{videosizewxmediactrl}

By default, wxMediaCtrl will scale the size of the video to the
requested amount passed to either it's constructor or Create().
After calling Load or performing an equivilant operation, you
can subsequently obtain the "real" size of the video (if there
is any) by calling GetBestSize(). Note that the actual result
on the display will be slightly different when ShowPlayerControls
is activated and the actual video size will be less then
specified due to the extra controls provided by the native toolkit.
In addition, the backend may modify GetBestSize() to include the
size of the extra controls - so if you want the real size of the
video just disable ShowPlayerControls().

The idea with setting GetBestSize to the size of the video is
that GetBestSize is a wxWindow-derived function that is called
when sizers on a window recalculate. What this means is that
if you use sizers by default the video will show in it's
original size without any extra assistance needed from the user.


\membersection{Player controls}\label{playercontrolswxmediactrl}

Normally, when you use wxMediaCtrl it is just a window for the video to
play in.  However, some toolkits have their own media player interface.
For example, QuickTime generally has a bar below the video with a slider.
A special feature available to wxMediaCtrl, you can use the toolkit's interface instead of
making your own by using the \helpref{ShowPlayerControls()}{wxmediactrlshowplayercontrols}
function.  There are several options for the flags parameter, with
the two general flags being wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS\_NONE which turns off
the native interface, and wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS\_DEFAULT which lets
wxMediaCtrl decide what native controls on the interface. Be sure to review
the caveats outlined in \helpref{Video size}{videosizewxmediactrl} before
doing so.


\membersection{Choosing a backend}\label{choosingbackendwxmediactrl}

Generally, you should almost certainly leave this part up to
wxMediaCtrl - but if you need a certain backend for a particular
reason, such as QuickTime for playing .mov files, all you need 
to do to choose a specific backend is to pass the
name of the backend class to 
\helpref{wxMediaCtrl::Create}{wxmediactrlcreate}.

The following are valid backend identifiers -
\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf wxMEDIABACKEND\_DIRECTSHOW}}{ 
Use ActiveMovie/DirectShow.  Uses the native ActiveMovie
(I.E. DirectShow) control. Default backend on Windows and
supported by nearly all Windows versions, even some
Windows CE versions. May display a windows media player
logo while inactive. }
\twocolitem{{\bf wxMEDIABACKEND\_QUICKTIME}}{
Use QuickTime.  Mac Only.
WARNING: May not working correctly embedded in a wxNotebook.
}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxMEDIABACKEND\_GSTREAMER}}{
Use GStreamer.  Unix Only. Requires GStreamer 0.8 along
with at the very least the xvimagesink, xoverlay, and
gst-play modules of gstreamer to function. You need the correct
modules to play the relavant files, for example the mad module
to play mp3s, etc.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxMEDIABACKEND\_WMP10}}{
Uses Windows Media Player 10 (Windows only) - works on mobile
machines with Windows Media Player 10 and desktop machines with
either Windows Media Player 9 or 10
}
\end{twocollist}

Note that other backends such as wxMEDIABACKEND\_MCI can now be
found at wxCode.

\membersection{Creating a backend}\label{creatingabackendwxmediactrl}

Creating a backend for wxMediaCtrl is a rather simple process. Simply derive
from wxMediaBackendCommonBase and implement the methods you want. The methods
in wxMediaBackend correspond to those in wxMediaCtrl except for CreateControl
which does the actual creation of the control, in cases where a custom control
is not needed you may simply call wxControl::Create.

You need to make sure to use the DECLARE\_CLASS and IMPLEMENT\_CLASS macros.

The only real tricky part is that you need to make sure the file in compiled
in, which if there are just backends in there will not happen and you may need
to use a force link hack (see http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/RTTI).

This is a rather simple example of how to create a backend in the
\helpref{wxActiveXContainer}{wxactivexcontainer} documentation.

\membersection{wxMediaCtrl::wxMediaCtrl}\label{wxmediactrlwxmediactrl}

\func{}{wxMediaCtrl}{\void}

Default constructor - you \tt{must} call Create before calling any other methods
of wxMediaCtrl.

\func{}{wxMediaCtrl}{
        \param{wxWindow* }{parent}, 
        \param{const wxString\& }{fileName = wxT("")},
        \param{wxWindowID }{id}, 
        \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos = wxDefaultPosition}, 
        \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}, 
        \param{long }{style = 0}, 
        \param{const wxString\& }{szBackend = wxT("")},
        \param{const wxValidator& }{validator = wxDefaultValidator},
        \param{const wxString\& }{name = wxPanelNameStr}
                   }
