[vlc-devel] Re:[vlc-devel] Re: VLC AX opens new framed desktop window instead of playing inside the host application's window

[Damien Fouilleul]

The parent window is inherited through a private variable
called 'drawable', which is set by the activex control on
activation; and it is possible that the control does not get
properly activated by Zinc, because it may not support
windowed activex controls as most of them are typically
windowless. 
Just to rule out other possiblities, have you tried using the
activex control directly on internet explorer, you can use the
following test page.

http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trunk/activex/test.html

if you also get a framed window, then I would suggest that you
reset your preferences, and try again.
There might be some settings which may be conflicting,
although I know of none, which would cause this effect.
