❔ play a preset video when the form is loaded

Hello, I have an assignment and when the form is loaded, it should open a predetermined video, but in the codes I wrote, only the sound of the video is heard. Does anyone have a solution or help with coding?

share the code you wrote i would guess

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:05 PM

and a recording of what it's doing if you can

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:05 PM

and/or the repo to githb of your code if there's too much code

! MrNemesisOP•1/17/23, 6:09 PM

results and codes of the form screen

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:34 PM

ok that's not how winform works

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:34 PM

add the play at design time

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:34 PM

and only load the video

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:34 PM

don't create a full player on load

read the docs

that link MAY NOT BE the one you're using

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:35 PM

in your screenshot it's impossible to tell what is WindowsMediaPlayer because that's just an image not the code (like all the code / the actual repo and all file)

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:36 PM

TLDR: github link could help

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:37 PM

i'm pretty sure that link isn't what you're using so i just made a random google search to show what the docs could look like / help

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:37 PM

TLDR: you want to learn how winform works, what's the designer and how you use it

you want to read all that

I did it this way as a video path, doesn't it work again?

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:40 PM

what i said is unrelated to that message

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:40 PM

you're mostly using Winform completly wrong

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:40 PM

which create aribtrary stuff completly outside the form context

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:40 PM

and the form is not aware of that

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:41 PM

so there's no way anything is gonna show

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:41 PM

because what you created is not attached to anything beside memory footprint

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:41 PM

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:41 PM

which is why I'm pointing again at

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:41 PM

you need to learn how WinForm works

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:42 PM

especially the Controls and the Designer

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:42 PM

and you should not create on the fly that thing once you learnt how to properly use the designer

! MrNemesisOP•1/17/23, 6:47 PM

Let me tell you my purpose. I have a project. In this project, I connected the "a" data sent by arduino to c# with serial communication. When I install it, it will check the data coming from the arduino and play the desired video according to the incoming data. For example, I sent the "a" data as a test, I wrote the code from the arduino, I want it to check the "a" data in c# and open the "Anakart.mp4" video, but I could not open it. If I do what you say, I will achieve my goal, right?

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:47 PM

given your code

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:47 PM

you still need to learn winform and what the designer is

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:48 PM

-_-

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:48 PM

and that's how you'll get the video playing and visible

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:48 PM

you can either continue here

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:48 PM

or open the link above and read about it

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:48 PM

it's all up to you

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:49 PM

at the end you'll see that you'll need to add stuff on your form to make it visible

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:49 PM

which is what the designer does for you

TeBeCo•1/17/23, 6:49 PM

which is documented in what's linked above

Thank you very much for giving me your precious time.

Looks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
