ShowControls Property

Sets or retrieves a value specifying whether the control bar is visible.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.ShowControls [ = bShowControls ]

Possible Values

bShowControls Boolean value specifying whether the control bar is visible. If true, the control bar is visible.

This property is read/write with a default value of true.

Remarks

The control bar contains buttons for starting, stopping, and pausing playback. Optionally, you can add or remove position controls, audio controls, and the trackbar by setting the ShowPositionControls, ShowAudioControls, and ShowTracker properties, respectively.

This property can affect the overall width of the Microsoft® Windows Media™ Player. In some cases the width of the control bar defines the overall width of the Windows Media Player control. Adding position and audio controls increases the width of the control bar.
