Remarks

This property can only be set if the value of the AllowChangeDisplaySize property is true.

If the value of the AutoSize property is true, Windows Media Player automatically changes its size to accommodate the video image at the size specified by the DisplaySize property. Otherwise, Windows Media Player does not resize, and the image is centered in the video display panel.

If AutoSize is true and the DisplaySize property is set to 4 (mpFitToSize), the video image displays at the default size.

Note   For DVD playback, if this property equals 5, the image display window displays at half the size of the screen; if it equals 6, the window displays at one-sixteenth the size of the screen; and if it equals 7, the window displays at one-quarter the size of the screen. For values of 0 through 4, the image display window resizes according to the values show in the above table.
