How to use full screen mode in Windows Media Player (activex)

I am trying to write a LV program to display video "full screen" using a WindowsMediaPlayer control (in LabVIEW 8).  Is this not possible?  When I run the code I get an error:
Error -2147418113 occurred at Property Node
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Under LV 7.1 with DSC installed I get the same error code (-2147418113) but "explain error" gives me this.
"LabVIEW DSC:  (Hex 0x8000FFFF) Catastrophic failure."
This prompts the question is it possible to set an activeX object running in a container for Full Screen.
This is probably a Q for MS.
If it look like it is possible, try to get a VB example and that will tell us what we have to do to make this work.

  • How To get Full screen mode on windows 8.1

  • Full Screen Mode with Window Tabs? (Mac)

    I have never been able to use Full Screen Mode / Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar because my Window Tabs disappear.
    Until now I have ignored this but I really want to start making the most of my screen space. I don't understand how people can go into full screen mode without tabs of their open documents. It makes the experience completely useless to me and I can't believe I can't find any solutions online. I feel like I am overlooking a simple button somewhere on the screen thinking "surely Adobe would include this!?"
    Please help.
    I am currently on 13 inch MacBook Pro using CS6 beta.

    Thanks for the reply, but I already know of this 'workaround', and it isn't a solution for me. There is no functionality in cycling through windows with no idea when you will arrive at the correct PSD. I usually have quite a few open at the same time and I am constantly skipping between them nice and simply with the tabs...Please Adobe just add an option for tabs, all the other components of the layout are optional in full screen, why not tabs?
    Putting in a feature request for tabs in full screen mode is a good idea. One thing Photoshop could do in full screen mode is reveal the menu bar and tabs when the mouse is near the top of the screen. This is sort of an ad-hoc standard in tabbed apps like Chrome and Firefox. Even Adobe Photoshop Lightroom reveals the menu bar in this way, but Photoshop continues to use the same full screen behavior that it had back in the 1990s, when it was one of the few full-screen apps available.
    One workaround is to turn off Window > Application Frame, and when you're in full screen mode use Lion's Mission Control to pick a specific window. This works even better if you use or assign a shortcut to view the windows of a single application.

    how does everyone else cope?
    As a career-long Mac-user I am not accustomed to tabs and therefore don’t need or use them.
    Tabs have been in Mac apps, such as Apple Safari and Final Cut Pro, for many years.

  • How to enter full screen mode in email?

    Can we enter full screen mode when reading an email in landscape mode? I can see safari has already provide this feature. It is really useful for reading  wide pages using iPhone 5 with a longer screen. But I don't know how to use this feature for email. In landscape mode, there are 2 email menus plus the system bar, which occupy too many screen. Any idea on how to enter full screen mode?
    Thanks.

    Ok, hope this will be added in the next release.

  • I have recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I am now unable to use full screen mode when watching you tube. i've never had this problem before.

    i can't think of anything else to add. i've always been able to use full screen mode in firefox, it still works on vimeo and it still works on NEtflix..

    What happens when you try to use full screen mode -- button is ineffective, video doesn't display, etc.?
    By the way, Adobe has issued a couple of security updates recently, so you might want to update your Flash plugin.

  • How to exit full screen mode mail message

    Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode.   The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it. 
    In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen.  When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out.  If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected.  I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
    I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option? 
    Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find?  I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages.  This started this morning.
    Can anyone help?  
    I do not know how it got into full screen mode.  It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
    i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns. 
    How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
    I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore.  So i have had my struggles with Mail.  Trying to get through it.  This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions.  Sort of Microsoft-like.
    I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

  • How to exit full screen mode while playing a presentation in Keynote '09

    Hi, my question is: when I play a presentation it starts by default in full screen mode; I would like instead to see it in a little box, in order to be able to take notes on another file; how can I do that?

    When playing Keynote will indeed take over the full screen -- there is no option for playing a presentation in a window. However, in the Preferences, under Slideshow, there is an option to enable Expose, which will allow you to switch between a running Keynote presentation and other applications.

  • Here is how to enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Apps

    I just discovered that with a very simple native extension method, I can enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Applications.
    This gets you the full screen icon in the top right, and it works perfectly with no changes to my code. (Obviously only works on Lion and above, since this is a Lion feature)
    Enjoy.
    Here's the code:
        FREObject _EnableFullScreenMode(FREContext ctx, void* functionData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
            //We should be okay to do this, even on 10.6, according to this post:
            //http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/311124-implementing-full-screen-for-10-7-but-app-should-also-run-on-10-6.html
            //We can't use [NSApp mainWindow] - didn't appear to work
            //This seems to though:
            NSArray * allWindows = [NSApp windows];
            if (allWindows.count > 0)
                NSWindow *mainWindow = [allWindows  objectAtIndex: 0];
                NSWindowCollectionBehavior behavior = [mainWindow collectionBehavior];
                behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
                [mainWindow setCollectionBehavior:behavior];
            //TODO: Return a boolean instead depending on if we found the main window
            return NULL;

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

    There is no mechanism in the OS for that.

  • How to end full screen mode in screen sharing, how to end full screen mode in screen sharing

    I inadvertently hit the 2 little arrows invoking full screen mode while in the screen sharing app. I can't get out of it now, and returned to the windowed mode. Help says to click the 2 little arrows, but I'm not being given 2 little arrows to click.
    I see the screen sharing window, no border, against what looks like a background of denim.
    pressing esc does nothing.
    thanks for clues!

    When you move your cursor to the top of the screen the local mac's menu bar will appar out of hiding. The "two arrows" you're looking for are in a blue button on the right hand side of this menu bar.

  • Satellite A210 - How to use muldimedia buttons with other than Media Player

    Hi,
    is it really not possible to use the Multimedia Buttons (Play, Pause, FF) on the top of my notebook for another application than the Windows Media Player?
    Is there any reason for this? I would like to control Winamp with this buttons.
    It seems quite sensless to restrict the acces to ONE application of HUNDREDS available, an then this one is the Media Player which is not used by the most people.
    I have the Satellite A210 Notbook.
    Can you tell my how to control my winamp with this buttons?
    Greetings from Robert

    Hello Robert
    Unfortunately there is no solution at the moment. If you check this forum you can find several very interesting threads about multimedia buttons and Winamp player. The fact is that some people have found solution for older notebook models running WXP. Winamp has offered plugin that must be installed.
    Now we have new situation. Your notebook runs newest Vista OS and I didnt find any plugin that can help. Problem is that your notebook is designed for Windows Vista and preinstalled OS contains all necessary plugins for running Windows media player as a part of preinstalled operating system.
    It is no kind of restriction. With preinstalled OS you can do what you want and if you can find a way to change it do this. You know very well that there are hundreds of different players on the market. You cannot expect that Toshiba take a time and create a plugins for all of them and satisfy the customers all over the world.

  • How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

    I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
    On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
    Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

  • How do I move my files from Windows Media Player to my ipod?

    Please help! I cannot figure out how to move the songs in Media Player over to my ipod.

    Hello 03bprice!  Follow the instructions below:
    Add files already stored on your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12485 and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12493
    Do either of the following:
    Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
    By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see Change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.
