Placing the Windows Media Player Control in a Web Page

This topic applies to Windows Media Player version 6.4 only.

As a Microsoft® ActiveX® control, the Windows Media Player control exposes methods, properties, and event support to other Microsoft® Windows® applications. Although ActiveX controls can be used as components in a variety of programming environments, they are extremely well suited for use in Web pages. ActiveX controls can add exciting dynamic content to previously static Web pages, and they are easy to distribute over networks.
