This chapter shows you how to access the Multimedia Viewer from a Windows application. The Viewer package includes the source code for a sample Windows application that does this.
This sample is based on the MENUDEMO.C application in Chapter 9 of Programming Windows Version 3, Second Edition by Charles Petzold, published by Microsoft Press. Petzold's application illustrates the use of menus by constructing an application with five menus: File, Edit, Background, Timer, and Help.
The sample application presented here adds two additional menus to MENUDEMO: Viewer and Guide. The commands on these menus perform different types of operations with Viewer. In this chapter, you will learn about the operations these new menus perform.
