Building a Visualization
You must have three things to build a custom visualization:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
