Need some help Using Windows Media Player in my form 2

[mrdod]

Sorry if this is not in the right spot but I did a search and couldn't find another thread. I am trying to create a format for Standard Work/Training for machinists and thought if a video would be available then it would be very cool. I have the player on the form but I am not sure how to set the record source to the player so when the operator pushes the button the video is played. I tried looking at the Object Browser but I am pretty lost (I have no formal training). Sorry if this is extremely noobish but if anyone has some time that would be great. If not I understand. Thanks.

Set the URL like
"C:\MyFolder\MyVideo.wmv"

Properties > Other > URL

or Click on custom property ellipses[...] to browse the file.

Just wanted to add, you should double-click the player and then check the [blue]Auto Start[/blue] attribute!. This done . . . when you update the url it automatically plays! . . .

That's awesom guys !!! Thanks a bunch I kept trying to do Control Source. So I'm assuming there is/was a way to look at the object browser and get this information? It's confusing to me because I've had no training but it looks like it would be very helpful if I understood it.

Thanks again and Stars for everyone!!
