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

[Jan Bölsche]

yes, the cone logo is displayed at the position where the AX COntrol is 
supposed to be: inside the App's Control Container Window (class 
TOLEContainer). But right before playback starts, another window (class 
VLC DirectX) with parent=NULL is created and inside that, a child window 
(VLC DirectX video) that actually contains the overlay surface.

I'm now looking at modules/video_output/directx/events.c, where these 
windows are created.

Especially at these lines:

/* If an external window was specified, we'll draw in it. */
    p_vout->p_sys->hparent =
        vout_RequestWindow( p_vout, &p_vout->p_sys->i_window_x,
                            &p_vout->p_sys->i_window_y,
                            &p_vout->p_sys->i_window_width,
                            &p_vout->p_sys->i_window_height );

So, i guess, if that TOleContainer window's handle would be in 
p_vout->p_sys->hparent ,
everything would be fine. But how would it get there?
