Showing Video footage ".ASF" files

[bebbo]

I am trying to show a moving image with a ".ASK" extension. The video OLECONTROL does not support this file extension. Could someone suggest what is the best OLECONTROL to use for this, as I'm having a number of problems.

Looks like nobody around here knows about .ask extensions. What program do they go with? Have you tried going to the website of whoever it is and look there?

Also, if the program (I assume you have a program) has dlls accociated with it, you might be able to use them directly.

I'm not surprised that I got no replys. ASK should of read "ASF". Haven't a clue why I put ASK. I've actually got this to work. However I'm having further problems. The video clip appears to stop the mouse clicks from working. This is only from time to time which makes it harder to find out the problem.

Well, video spends a lot of time loading things into memory and I believe programs often shut down everything possible including mouse moves to speed the process up. It may be that there's a way to get it not to do so, possibly with a performance hit, but you probably still need some low-level documentation. Have you tried looking at the MicroSoft website?
