Building a Visualization

You must have three things to build a custom visualization:

  1. Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or later. This is the only compiler that is supported. Included with Visual C++ is the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK which will provide detailed instructions on using the Graphical Device Interface (GDI) drawing functions.
  2. The Windows Media Player SDK. Included with the SDK is the documentation you are reading right now, as well as the Windows Media Player Custom Visualization Wizard.
  3. Windows Media Player. You will not be able to test your custom visualization without it. It is also a great way to listen to music while you are coding!
